New York’s Pitching Keeps Performing Well Despite Key Injuries

The Mets pitching staff is missing two of the best starters in all of baseball with Max Scherzer out due to an oblique injury and Jacob deGrom out with a shoulder injury. But these injuries haven’t slowed down New York’s pitching staff and bullpen, which just combined to shutout the Colorado Rockies in a 2-0 road win on Sunday.

New York enters this three-game road series against the Giants with a 3.41 team ERA that ranks eighth best in the majors. Bettors taking New York as their Mets vs Giants prediction will be looking for the Mets to improve to 4-0 SU in Peterson’s last four trips to the mound.

San Francisco’s Offense Fizzled Out Against San Diego

The Giants were swept at home by the San Diego Padres over the weekend. After losing Friday’s series-opener 8-7 in extra innings, San Francisco scored only one run in both Saturday’s 2-1 loss and Sunday’s 10-1 loss. The offense will need to get back on track at the plate without Brandon Belt, who hit the injured list over the weekend with a knee injury. 

San Francisco’s recent skid continues a trend of winning and losing in bunches this season. The Giants are 2-6 SU over their last eight games after having gone 6-0 SU in their previous six games, 1-7 SU in the eight games before that, and 5-0 in the five games before that.
