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

On Wednesday, Major League Baseball will see the San Francisco Giants play the New York Mets at Oracle Park. Game 1 went in Giants favor. Will the Mets bounce back in game 2?

The San Francisco Giants got things right in game one of this series, securing a 5-2 win, and they come here as favorites again. The San Francisco Giants are 11-13 this season, and they have won three of their last five matches now, scoring 21 runs. The San Francisco Giants have scored four or more runs in 4 of their last eight games, winning 5 of their last six games with that score. The San Francisco Giants will have Logan Webb as the starting pitcher in this game. Logan Webb has a 2-1 record with a 2.93 ERA and 22 strikeouts this season. His career against Webb is 2-1 with a 3.52 ERA and 23 strikeouts against the New York Mets.

The New York Mets lost 10-0 to the Los Angeles Dodgers in game three of their series, being the first time since the second day of April they failed to score. However, their game against the San Francisco Giants did not go their way, as they lost 5-2, suffering consecutive losses since early April. This season, Pete Alonso Pete Alonso and Harrison Bader have combined for 42 hits and 18 RBI, while Starling Marte is 13-for-43 with two doubles and three home runs over the past ten games. In the mound for game 2, Luis Severino will get the nod for the New York Mets. This game will be Severino’s first start against the San Francisco Giants, and he is 2-1 with a 2.14 ERA and 21 strikeouts.

This is one of the better pitching games in recent games. Luis Severino has found his best form lately, allowing two earned runs in his last 16 innings while striking out 15. On the other hand, Logan Webb has allowed eight runs in his last 24.2 innings, including a 7-inning shutout against the Diamondbacks. This should be a high-scoring game in between, but I will still lean with the Mets in game 2.
