Mets vs. Giants Prediction, Odds, Probable Pitchers, Prop Bets for Thursday, April 2

In this story:
The San Francisco Giants return home to host the New York Mets for a four-game set after taking two of three in San Diego to begin the week.
The Giants are still looking for their first home win – and second run scored at home – after getting swept by the Yankees to open the year.
Meanwhile, the Mets won their first two games before falling to the Pirates, then took the series opener in St. Louis before dropping their last two. They’ve scored a total of 12 runs in five games since their 11-7 win on Opening Day.
It’s a southpaw showdown in San Diego with David Peterson facing off against Robbie Ray.
Here are the odds, probable pitchers, and predictions for Mets vs. Giants on Thursday, April 2.

Mets vs. Giants Best MLB Prop Bets
Mets Best MLB Prop Bet
- Juan Soto OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+138)
Juan Soto is one of the few players in this game that has been swinging the bat well. He’s 9 for 26 with a .952 OPS thanks to a home run and two doubles.
Soto has a hit in all six games so far this season, including two hits in three games. I’ll take these plus odds for the slugger to either get two hits or an extra-base hit tonight.
Mets vs. Giants Prediction and Pick
The Mets and Giants have each gone OVER the total just once this season.
There has been one offensive outburst for each side – 11 runs on Opening Day for the Mets and 9 runs on Tuesday in San Diego for the Giants –, but neither team has scored more than four runs in a game outside of that.
It’s still a pitcher’s park out in San Francisco, and these teams will feel the effects of that tonight.
Pick: UNDER 7 (-105)
