MLB Betting Trends
San Francisco
The under is 7-2-1 in the last 10 Giants games overall. The under is 19-7-2 in the last 28 San Francisco road games.
New York
The Mets are 13-27 in their last 40 home games. The under is 6-2 in the last eight Syndergaard home starts.
Prediction:
Even with Syndergaard on the mound, I struggle to ever pull the trigger on New York as such a big favorite. Kelly should give the Mets some solid frames before turning it over to the bullpen. I’ll take a chance on the plus money here with the Giants.
