NY Mets vs San Francisco Giants Prediction

We’re getting plus money with the team in better form. Regardless of how you slice it, the San Francisco Giants are playing the better baseball than the NY Mets. In fact, the Mets are arguably the most disappointing team in baseball and not a team that should be trusted in the favorite role. Luis Severino has pitched his best at Citi Field, but Jordan Hicks has been the better pitcher this season overall as well. The value is with the Giants and the more favorable price. I’ll keep fading the Mets until they get their act together. Give me the Giants as road underdogs.
