Giants vs Mets Prediction
The Mets and the cheap price are appealing considering they’re probably the better team here. However, the Giants have turned things around in recent days and the offense is going to only get better. Also, you can argue the Giants have the edge on the mound given the season Mahle had last year with the Rangers. We’re getting the Giants at home as an underdog. I’ll take the more favorable price with the home team.
