Preview

The San Francisco Giants will be hosting the New York Mets in the final game of a three-game set on Wednesday afternoon. The Giants have won the first two games and are looking for a sweep here.

The Mets are falling in the standings and their pitching has been their stretch but has given up 6.4 runs during their current five-game losing streak.

The Giants have been one of baseball’s biggest surprises this season as their offense has been great during the month of August. In their 16 games in the month, San Fran is scoring 5.12 runs per game.  

Pitching Matchup

Mets

Tylor Megill (1-2, 3.42 ERA) be taking the ball for the Mets here and has been doing decently well as a rookie in the big leagues. He is coming off a no-decision against the Los Angeles Dodgers where he went five innings and allowed three runs on six hits with a hit by pitch, a walk, and six strikeouts. He's pitching to a brutal 6.75 ERA in the month of August thus far and this is going to be his first time taking on a solid offensive team.

Giants

Anthony DeSclafani (11-5, 3.29 ERA) has been doing well this season but has struggled in his last couple of starts. He defeated the Colorado Rockies last time on the mound and allowed two runs on five hits with two walks and four strikeouts in five innings of work. DeSclafani has not faced the Mets since he did twice back in 2019 as a member of the Cincinnati Reds where hitters went 7-for-46 (.152) and had two walks with 15 strikeouts in those games.

Prediction

The New York Mets are struggling as of late and have lost each of their last five road games. The San Francisco Giants are one of, if not the best, overall team in the majors. The Giants are dominant at home this season and they are going to continue their incredible stretch of games with a win here.
