Tips and Trends
New York Mets at San Francisco Giants
Mets (-130, O/U 9): John Maine tries to win his fourth straight start as the Mets begin a 10-game road trip. Maine (3-2, 4.54 ERA), who has gone six innings in each of his last three starts, looks to give the Mets' bullpen a much-needed break after seven relievers pitched 7 1-3 innings Wednesday. "It's just three good starts in a row, and next time hopefully I'll lower the pitches a little bit and get to the seventh," said Maine, who has a 2.00 ERA during his winning streak. He's 1-0 with a 3.78 ERA in three career starts versus San Francisco. The Mets won the final five meetings with the Giants last season.
The Mets are 8-2 in their last 10 overall.
