Giants vs Mets Prediction

New York is coming off of a loss in game three against the Dodgers on Sunday, but they have been one of the hottest teams in baseball over the last couple of weeks. The Mets have won 12 of their last 17 games and their offense has scored at least six runs in four of their last six games. San Francisco had a rough series against the Diamondbacks at home over the weekend and their pitching staff has had issues this season. The Giants are starting Keaton Winn, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in three of his four starts. The Mets are going with Jose Quintana, who has allowed two earned runs or fewer in three of his four starts. This is a pretty solid pitching matchup, but I am going to take the Mets, as their offense has been rolling recently.
