Giants vs Mets Prediction
The Giants’ pitching staff is getting hit hard too often for my liking, and this Mets lineup is capable of adding to it. We saw it yesterday and that could lead to a carryover in this spot. Holmes was decent in his season debut and he’s the more trustworthy arm in this matchup. Roupp is still trying to work his way into being a consistent starter after spotty playing time through his first three seasons. We’re getting a cheap price; I have to roll with the Mets on the road.
