We've got the Mets with a six-game win streak going for the sweep at San Francisco on Sunday night baseball, and they start Kodai Senga, who has won his last six starts. The Giants are going with the bullpen starting the game, giving lefty Matt Gage the start. Gage made his debut with Toronto in 2023 and is making his first start. He pitched with Detroit earlier this season. The Giants have lost eight of their last 10 games. It's all about the streak in this one. Mets to win.
The Giants are going with a bullpen game, which makes Pete Alonso's +500 price a bit surprising. He's been better on the road this season, with a .911 OPS compared to .839 at home. While Alonso has struggled against left-handed pitching and Matt Gage is a lefty, Gage is just an opener and won't go more than 1–2 innings. Alonso has been slumping in July, but he's only struck out once in 8 ABs during this series, which is encouraging. We set Alonso's line at +340 to hit a HR.
