Giants vs Mets Betting Pick
This game will be played at Citi Field at 7:10 PM ET on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.
Why Bet The Giants:
✅ Chris Bassitt (2-0; 0.75 ERA; 0.67 WHIP) has done a superb job through his first two starts in the Mets’ uniform, but the clash against the Giants might be troublesome for the 33-year-old right-hander. San Francisco is killing it against the righties, slashing .262/.342/.463 in 214 at-bats on the young season. Ten of the Giants’ 11 home runs have come against the right-handed pitchers. On the other side, the Mets could be in trouble when they face Carlos Rodon (1-0; 1.50 ERA; 0.75 WHIP). New York is batting only .235 against the lefties while slugging just .358.
✅ The Giants’ bullpen will make the difference should both Rodon and Bassitt have a good game. San Francisco’s relievers own a 2.16 ERA and .225 BABIP even though they are striking out only 6.75 per nine innings. They can induce a lot of week contact, and the Giants are one of the best defensive teams in the majors.

✅ San Francisco has been terrific on the road as of late. The Giants have won 15 of their previous 17 contests away from home. Last week, they swept a three-game series against the Guardians at Progressive Field in Cleveland, allowing just four runs in the process. The Giants went 5-1 against the Mets in 2021, sweeping a three-game set at Citi Field.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants were rolling on a five-game winning streak following an 8-1 thrashing of the Guardians last Sunday. Alex Wood tossed five scoreless innings, while Brandon Belt and Thairo Estrada hit a two-run homer each.
Belt leads the way for the Giants in April, posting ten hits and seven RBIs in 29 at-bats (1.131 OPS). The 33-year-old first baseman has already smacked three home runs, while Estrada has a couple of homers and eight RBIs in 33 at-bats (.750 OPS).
New York Mets
The Mets wrapped up the last week’s action with a 5-0 home victory over Arizona. They clinched a three-game set against the lowly Diamondbacks after losing the middle contest 3-2, and Pete Alonso hit his third no-doubter of the season.
Francisco Lindor also has three home runs on his season tally. The 28-year-old shortstop is off to a flying start, slashing .273/.442/.606 in 33 at-bats, while Starling Marte has ten hits and ten RBIs in 38 at-bats (.764 OPS).
