Tips and Trends
New York Mets at San Francisco Giants
Mets: New York, without Carlos Delgado, is averaging 6.3 runs over their last six games. The Mets have never swept a four-game set in San Francisco. Even without Jose Reyes' 11 stolen bases, New York has swiped 13 so far in the series. "The key for us is to try and manufacture runs," manager Jerry Manuel said. "With the way we've been running, it creates a diversion for the opposition that they have to start paying attention to us a little bit." In Mike Pelfrey's only career start against the Giants, he gave up three singles over seven innings in a 7-0 win at Shea Stadium on 7/8/08.
The Mets are 11-2 in their last 13 overall.
The Mets are 12-2 in the last 14 meetings.
Key Injuries - SS Jose Reyes (calf) is QUESTIONABLE.
1B Carlos Delgado (hip) is on the 15-day DL.
PROJECTED SCORE: 5
Giants (-110, O/U 8.5): San Francisco will try to avoid its first five-game skid at AT&T Park since June 3-15 of last season. Matt Cain (3-1, 3.00 ERA) was 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA in four April starts, but has gone 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA in his past three outings. The right-hander is 2-3 with a 5.23 ERA in five career starts against the Mets. He gave up five runs over five innings on 6/4/08 - including a two-run homer to Reyes - in a 5-3 home loss to New York. In their last seven games prior to last night, the Giants are batting .274 and scoring 5.7 runs per game.
The Giants are 10-30 in Cain's last 40 starts vs. a team with a winning record.
The Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in San Francisco.
Key Injuries - SS Edgar Renteria (hamstring) is OUT
PROJECTED SCORE: 6 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)
