New York vs San Francisco Pick

  • New York vs San Francisco Spread Pick

Both teams are having issues thus far this season, and that will carry into this matchup. New York does have the better picture on the mound Sunday, but the Mets are the more beat-up team.

Take the San Francisco Giants on Sunday afternoon to do the job and get the win at home against the New York Mets to close out this series.

  • New York vs San Francisco Over/Under Pick
