San Francisco Giants vs. New York Mets Prediction - May 9/2017

The Giants are reeling losing four in a row and they are tied with the Atlanta Braves and Kansas City Royals for the fewest wins in the Majors. They have struggled on the mound and at the plate this season and in their current four-game skid they have been outscored 35-8. Still, even with all of these things against San Francisco they are the pick in this NL match up. Samardzija is coming off a great last start and he will tame the bats of New York even though they have totaled 23 wins in winning three of their last four games. San Francisco will win this game behind a strong showing from Samardzija and they will snap their four-game losing streak.
