Mets vs. Giants Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Friday, April 3

The New York Mets’ road woes continued last night with a 7-2 loss to open their series against the San Francisco Giants.

The Mets have now scored just 14 runs in 6 games since their 11-7 win on Opening Day, including just 3 runs during this three-game losing streak.

Thursday’s victory was the Giants’ first win at home after opening the season getting swept by the Yankees. They did take two of three in San Diego, though, before taking down the Mets last night.

Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Mets vs. Giants on Friday, April 3.

Mets vs. Giants Best MLB Prop Bets

Mets Best MLB Prop Bet

Nolan McLean OVER 5.5 Strikeouts (-134)

Nolan McLean has been dominant through his first nine MLB starts. He has a 2.21 ERA (13 ER in 53 IP) with 65 strikeouts and 18 walks.

McLean opened the season with an eight-strikeout performance in just five innings against the Pirates. He’s gone OVER 5.5 strikeouts in eight of his nine starts in his career, including OVER 6.5 in six of them.

Mets vs. Giants Prediction and Pick

I can’t look anywhere but to the UNDER in this one, given the pitching matchup and the Mets’ offensive struggles.

McLean should be able to get through five or six innings and keep the Giants in check, unlike last night when San Francisco’s three-run first inning powered them to victory.

Mahle is making his second start in San Francisco after posting a 2.18 ERA with Texas last season. He should be able to hold his own against the Mets as well.

Pick: UNDER 7.5 (-115)
