San Francisco Giants at New York Mets 6/6/19 – MLB Picks, Preview, Prediction
The Giants were able to really shock and awe the Mets in the 10th inning of their opening game. The game was tied at a 3-3 score coming into the game, but once the Giants were able to come to bat in the 10th inning the game was blown apart as the Giants were able to score 6 runs in the game and then contained the Mets hitters in the bottom of the 10th. That is actually holding true for what the Giants have done most of the season as they have been able to go just a game under the five hundred mark on the road. The Mets, though, were mildly surprised in the loss as the Mets were a team that should have been able to win the game by all intents as they are 5 games over the five hundred mark at home.

My FREE MLB Pick: New York Mets -149
The Mets have been decent on the season at home and definitely know that they are unable to look past the Giants. The first game was definitely one that the Mets bullpen blew and the Mets are definitely looking like they are a team that could improve on the year and that could happen here. What else will help the Mets out quite a bit is that Anderson is not that good of a pitcher and has not thrown a lot on the game compared to Wheeler and that will help the Mets out as well. Look for Wheeler to do enough and the bullpen to potentially to have a great game here as the Mets bring home a win in this game. Final Score Prediction, New York Mets win 5-4.
