No Kris Bryant in the lineup for the Giants, while Francisco Lindor has been activated off the injured list and will start for the Mets. Sometimes, a little boost like that is huge this time of year as the Mets now are finally nearly whole in the lineup. They also have the starting pitching edge in rookie Tylor Megill (3.21 ERA), who was excellent last week in San Francisco, over Giants rookie fill-in Sammy Long (5.72 ERA).
The Giants are going with a bullpen game today starting with Sammy Long. Long hasn’t been great, but he should be fine against a Mets team that struggles against lefties. Tylor Megill faced the Giants last week and pitched well, but the hitters should have the advantage second time around. Kris Bryant is out of the lineup but Buster Posey is in. Bryant should get an important at bat too if this game is close. Take the value on the Giants.
On Tuesday, the Mets and Giants will meet for the second time in a week. At San Francisco last week, the Giants won two of three. The lone victory for the Mets came with Tuesday's starting pitcher on the mound, Tylor Megill. Megill pitched effectively, allowing just one run in the 6-2 victory. Back the Mets as they improve to 37-23 at home.
