Prediction

Giants 3, Mets 1

LEAN GIANTS (-105). 

The Giants are hotter overall and are a better road team than the Mets are a home team. San Francisco is 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a left-handed starter and 5-2 in the last 7 Giants-Mets meetings overall.

GIANTS -1.5 (+155).

I fully expect the Giants to cover this bet and at plus-money it’s worth taking a shot.
