San Francisco Giants vs New York Mets Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/03/25

The Giants and Mets are set for a rubber match on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field. San Francisco took the series opener by a score of 4-3 on Friday, and New York responded with a 12-6 win on Saturday. New York broke out of a 3-game offensive slump with a big 12-run performance last night. It was a much-needed breakthrough, as the Mets had scored just 4 total runs in their previous 3 games. Now, the New York offense will face San Francisco’s Carson Whisenhunt. The 24-year-old left-hander will be making just his second career start at the big league level. The first one wasn’t spectacular, as he allowed 4 runs on 5 hits over 5 innings against the Pirates on July 28. Needless to say, the Mets present a much tougher challenge than the Pirates.

The offense supporting Whisenhunt hasn’t been great, as only 3 teams scored fewer runs than the Giants in July. The Mets have been one of the best home teams in baseball so far this season, as they own a strong record of 38-17 at Citi Field. They are also 4-1 in head-to-head matchups against the Giants this season. Consider backing the Mets on the moneyline at home.
