San Francisco winners of 3 of last 4 games
Entering Friday’s game, the Giants are 3-4 through the first week of the season. San Francisco opened the year by being swept in three games against the Yankees at home. The Giants responded by winning three of their last four games. The Giants won twice in three games against the Padres. They started this series with a 7-2 win over the Mets on Thursday.
On Saturday, Landen Roupp gets the start for the Giants. The right-handed pitcher was fantastic in his season-opening outing. Roupp threw six innings against the Padres on March 30. He allowed two hits and zero runs in the Giants’ 3-2 win. Roupp tossed seven strikeouts, which was huge in the win. Last year, Roupp finished with a 3.80 ERA in 22 starts for San Francisco. In nine starts, Roupp threw a 2.63 ERA in home starts a season ago.
The Giants are hitting .227 through the first week of action, which ranks 16th. They have scored the third-fewest runs so far, though.

The Giants did rank 17th in runs scored and 26th in hits.
New York Mets vs San Francisco Giants Picks
Mets vs Giants Spread Pick
- Take San Francisco to cover (5 units)
The Mets offense has simply not been consistent enough to score runs in bunches and secure a road win. They are hitting just .205 through the first week of play. San Francisco’s starting pitcher Landen Roupp is going to feast. He was great in his season opening win, as he threw six innings and allowed just two hits and zero runs in a win over the Padres. Roupp gives me confidence in a San Francisco win because he held a 2.63 home ERA last season. The Mets will not have the offensive firepower to score against Roupp in this outing.
Take the Giants to cover.
Mets vs Giants Over/Under Pick
- Take the under (5 units)
The starting pitchers in this game looked sharp in their first start of the season. Landen Roupp dominated in six innings for the Giants, while New York’s Clay Holmes struck out five batters in 5.2 innings against the Cardinals. Holmes also held a 3.38 ERA on the road last year. With two confident starting pitchers, the two offenses for both teams, that have not played to their potential early on this season, will struggle in this game.
Take the under on Saturday.
