Both the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants have been going OVER the closing total consistently lately. The Mets have gone OVER in six-straight games, while the Giants have topped the closing total in seven of their past eight. That includes the two teams averaging a combined 12.7 runs per game so far this series. The Mets and Giants close out their four-game set at AT&T Park Sunday.
- The Giants are 2-5 SU and against the runline in their past seven games.
- The Mets are 3-6 in their past nine games at AT&T Park.
- Jeff Samardzija is 0-3 with an 11.40 ERA in three career starts against the Mets.
Noah Syndergaard has been solid – yet unspectacular – in his recent outings. The pitcher has posted a 4.08 ERA through his past five starts while surrendering at least six hits in each of those outings.
It appears that Jeff Samardzija has started to correct his issues with the long ball, as ‘The Shark” has not allowed a home run in his past two outings – only the second time he has done that all season. Samardzija has surrendered at least four earned runs in seven of his past 10 starts.
