This is a tough situational spot for San Francisco, 3,000 miles from home while playing its seventh straight road game. The Giants look road weary, losing four in a row and getting outscored by a 24-9 count as they wind down this 10-game trek. San Fransisco is #25 in runs scored, #24 in on-base percentage, and #26 in slugging. Starter Derek Holland has a losing record on the road where he has walked 34 batters in 73 innings, a poor ratio. The Giants are 16-35 on the road against losing teams and face a New York Mets squad beginning a 10-game homestand. The Mets are playing well, on an 8-4 run, despite just finishing an 11-game road trip. They come off an 8-2 win at Philly as a +180 dog. Mets starter Zack Wheeler is riding a nine-start unbeaten streak and has won each of his last six starts, making this a great spot for the surging home team. Play New York Mets.
