New York Mets at San Francisco Giants odds, picks and best bets

The New York Mets and San Francisco Giants are playing a four-game series at Oracle Park starting at 9:45 p.m. Eastern on Thursday. The Giants won the last four games in Colorado, outscoring the Rockies 40-15.

Noah Syndergaard and Madison Bumgarner are the starting pitchers for the New York Mets at San Francisco Giants. Sydergaard had a quality start last time out in Miami against the lowly Marlins. Bumiard has been traded in the past, but he was able to pitch well in his last start despite a left elbow contusion.

The Mets have won five of Syndergaard's past seven games. The Giants have a 13-3 record over the past 16 games and are 5-1 in MadBum's last six starts against teams with a losing overall record.

New York Mets have won five of Thor’s past seven games against National League West foes. The Mets are just 2-10 in the past 12 in Game 1 of a series.

The Giants are on a 13-3 run over the past 16 games. They have won each of MadBum's past four home starts.

The Mets have won seven of their past eight visits to San Francisco. The Giants have a winning record against the Mets. They are too expensive on the moneyline.

The wind will be blowing out from 10-13 mph to the left-center field power alley. The Giants should inch over against the pens.
