The New York Mets are losing ground in the National League wild-card race, but there’s still plenty of time for them to right the ship. A win against the San Francisco Giants on Friday could be just what the doctor ordered to get the Mets back on track.

- The Giants are 18-6 SU in their last 24 games with Johnny Cueto as the starting pitcher.
- The Mets are 8-2 SU in their last 10 games on the road after a loss on the road.
Steven Matz and Johnny Cueto will take the bump. Matz (9-8, 3.40 ERA) was victorious in his lone career start against San Francisco, allowing seven hits and three walks in six scoreless innings on April 29.
Cueto (13-3, 2.97) is 0-2 with a 4.84 ERA in six outings since starting for the National League in the All-Star Game. He settled for no-decisions in three of his last three outings, including a 6 2/3 inning effort against Baltimore in his last start which saw him give up three runs and eight hits.
