The Mets are on fire, putting up at least four runs in eight of their past ten games. They’re going up against Ross Stripling, who’s only making his second start of the season. He’s had a rough time in relief, giving up six runs in just 7 1/3 innings, allowing three homers. To make matters worse, the Yankees crushed four dingers against him in his only start, and the wind is expected to carry balls out tonight.

On the other hand, the Mets have Tylor Megill on the mound, who’s been holding it down all season, giving up three or fewer runs per outing. But keep in mind that three of those starts were against weak offensive teams like Miami (twice) and San Diego. The Giants have been hitting well, but their pitching has been their downfall this season. Over their last ten games, they’ve only had three wins but scored five or more runs in seven of those games. Also, the Giants have had success against Megill, batting .312 with a .353 OBP and a .915 OPS.
