Mets vs Giants Prediction
The Giants just aren’t the same team they were earlier in the season, and Whisenhunt isn’t trustworthy with just five career innings under his belt. Montas isn’t scaring anybody with his 5.46 ERA and 1.45 WHIP, but a lot of those struggles have come on the road. In 16.1 home innings, Montas has a 3.31 ERA and .254 allowed batting average. The Mets have also won three of Montas’s last four starts. The Mets need to take advantage of games against lesser teams at home if they’re going to push for the best record in the NL. Give me the Mets.
