<p>Two of the best teams in Baseball so far this season hook up for a doubleheader Tuesday as the<br />
Mets and Giants get it on in Queens. Newcomer Max Scherzer hits the hill for New York in the<br />
nightcap against Logan Webb for San Francisco.<br />
Here's how we homeworked the second game of this twin-bill, with our <b>free baseball betting<br />
pick</b> for Tuesday.</p>
<h2>MLB Betting Odds</h2>
<p>Tuesday's baseball betting lines opened New York and Scherzer at around -130 over San<br />
Francisco and Webb, with an over/under of seven runs. Early betting action then dipped the Mets<br />
a nickel to -125.</p>
<h2>Giants-Mets MLB Betting Preview</h2>
<p>This series was supposed to start Monday night but rain created a doubleheader for Tuesday.<br />
San Francisco just swept three games at Cleveland over the weekend by scores of 4-1, 4-2 and<br />
Sunday 8-1. Just before that the Giants took two of three at home from San Diego and just before<br />
that they took two of three at home from Miami. So San Francisco is 3-0 on series this season.<br />
New York meanwhile, just took two of three games at home from Arizona, winning Sunday's<br />
series rubber match 5-0. Just before that the Mets took two of three at Philadelphia, and just<br />
before that they took three of four at Washington. So New York is also 3-0 on series this season.<br />
Last year the Giants took the season series from the Mets five games to one.</p>
<h2>Pitching Match-Up </h2>
<p>Scherzer is making his third start of this season for his new team. Last Wednesday he held<br />
Philadelphia to one run and five hits through five innings of a 9-6 New York victory. And five<br />
days before that he gave up three runs through six frames of a 7-3 Mets win. So on the whole<br />
he's allowed four runs on eight hits and four walks through 11 innings, with 13 strikeouts.<br />
Last year, pitching for the Nationals and Dodgers, Scherzer hit 18/30 on quality starts;<br />
Washington played 11-8 with Scherzer while Los Angeles played 11-0!.<br />
In two starts against the Giants last season, one shortened by injury, one in the playoffs, Scherzer<br />
allowed just one run and three hits through seven innings, with one walk and 10 whiffs. Los<br />
Angeles managed to lose that playoff game 1-0.<br />
Webb is a solid 2/2 on quality starts this year. First, he held Miami to one run through six innings<br />
of a 6-5 San Francisco win. Then last Wednesday he held San Diego to one run and four hits<br />
through eight innings, with zero walks and seven K's, in a 2-1 Giants victory. So on the whole<br />
he's allowed two runs and nine hits through 14 innings.<br />
Last year Webb hit 13/26 on quality starts as San Francisco played a sparkling 21-5 with him.<br />
In his only career start against the Mets, last August, Webb allowed two runs and seven hits<br />
through 7 1/3 innings of a 3-2 Giants win.<br />

Giants at Mets Prediction 4/19/22

Scherzer's got the big name but Webb's been great over the last season-plus. So we consider this

pitching match-up very even. From there we call the sticks about a wash, too, but we give San

Francisco the check-mark in the bullpen comparison. Plus, the Giants are catching an underdog

price. We like the baseball betting value with San Francisco here.
