OUR PICK: The Giants are still in the midst of a funk but perhaps their come-from-behind victory last against the Mets will provide a spark. They trailed Jacob deGrom and New York 4-0 following a grand slam allowed by Madison Bumgarner, but the Giants struck back and wound up winning, 10-7. They’re 18-6 in Cueto’s last 24 starts, they’re 10-1 in their last 11 starts coming off four days of rest, and are 10-3 in his last 13 starts following a quality start in his last appearance.
