PREDICTION: SAN FRANCISCO , NY METS
Oddsmakers currently have the SAN FRANCISCO listed as 135 point favorites versus the NY METS, while the game’s total is sitting at 7.5.
The New York Mets have scored two runs in their last 20 innings but that was still enough to lift them to their sixth win in seven games at San Francisco’s AT&T Park. The Mets can win a series from the Giants for the second time in two weeks when they send right-hander Noah Syndergaard to the mound Sunday in the finale of a three-game set.
Syndergaard will look to continue a string of strong performances from New York’s starting rotation, which boasts a 1.67 ERA over its past 14 games. Catcher Tomás Nido, who entered Saturday’s game hitless in his last 22 at-bats, went 2-for-4 with an RBI double and Todd Frazier delivered the winning run with a sacrifice fly in the 11th inning of Saturday’s 2-1 victory. Pitching also has been a strong point for San Francisco, which has permitted a combined six runs over its last six games. Offense, though, continues to be a problem for the Giants, who mustered only three hits Saturday and have scored two runs or fewer in four of their last five games.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (9-3, 3.51 ERA) vs. Giants RH Chris Stratton (9-7, 4.99)
Syndergaard has not flashed his overpowering stuff since returning from a stint on the disabled list due to hand, foot and mouth disease, winning three of five decisions while compiling a 4.74 ERA in six starts. He beat the Giants with six innings of two-run ball on Aug. 22 before allowing four runs and nine hits over six innings at the Chicago Cuts on Monday. Brandon Belt is 0-for-9 lifetime versus Syndergaard.
Stratton ended a winless drought of more than two months last time out with a masterful outing versus Arizona on Monday, limiting the Diamondbacks to five hits over eight scoreless innings. He also turned in a quality start in his previous turn against the Mets in New York, tossing 6 1/3 innings of two-run ball in a no-decision. Rookie Jeff McNeil was 3-for-3 against Stratton, who has a 5.16 ERA at home.
