Mets starter returned to the bigs after a stint in the moinors and looked good pitching six scoreless innings. He got rocked in San Francisco back in April, but could rebound here against a struggling Giants’ offense that has tallied one run in three of the last four games. Ross Stripling coming back from an injury gets the call for the Giants. His numbers earlier this season were dismal and his back numbers against the NYM roster are not any better. Take the Mets -117.
