San Francisco Giants vs New York Mets Prediction: Mets to bounce back to winning ways

The New York Mets and San Francisco Giants will face off on Tuesday in a three-game National League series. Heading into this game, both teams last game ended in a defeat. Which side will get things right here?

The San Francisco Giants have been inconsistent this season despite the expectations and the quality of their squad. In the National League West, the San Francisco Giants are seated fourth as they have a 10-13 record up to this point. The San Francisco Giants are coming against the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Miami Marlins in their last five matches. San Francisco is coming from a series loss to Arizona, where they lost two out of three games. However, the San Francisco Giants picked two wins out of three games against the Miami Marlins and lost two out of three to the Tampa Bay Rays. The Giants have been doing a mediocre job at the plate right now, as they have a .699 team OPS and are scoring 4.13 runs per game.

The projected pitcher for the San Francisco Giants in this Tuesday's game will be Rookie right-hander Keaton Winn. Winn is 1-0 this season, coming against the Miami Marlins, where he allowed one run on four hits with one walk and four strikeouts over six innings on the bump.

The New York Mets had a poor start to the season, losing five consecutive defeats. However, it is a revelation that they have stepped up since then, and they now have a 12-9 record, which has seen them move to the third spot in the league standings. In recent games, the New York Mets pulled off two wins against the Kansas City Royals and a sweep over the Pittsburgh Pirates, while they lost only their last game of the series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, giving them a record of 8 wins in their previous ten games. The New York Mets are ninth in the MLB in runs scored per game (5.10), sixth in on-base percentage (.335), and 13th in slugging percentage (.392). The New York pitching staff has a 3.48 ERA, a 1.32 WHIP, and a .221 opponent batting average.

For this game 1, the New York Mets will have Southpaw Jose Quintana as their starting pitcher. This season, Quintana is 1-1 with a 3.05 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in four starts, pulling off a 20.2 innings of work.

Having had their high-leverage relievers in their Monday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the New York Mets are expected to enter this game confidently. The Mets have won 12 of their last 17 games, and their offense has scored at least six runs in four of their previous 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. However, these two sides' pitchers have it all, and we can expect this one to go down the wire. Despite this, the New York Mets offense has been consistent and played at the top level, and I am backing them to win here.
