San Francisco Giants vs New York Mets. The MLB pick for this game is the New York Mets. We’re looking at a contest between two National League clubs with at least a share of a division lead. Cobb pitched well in his season opener against the Padres, striking out ten batters in one of his stronger outings.
In the absence of Jacob deGrom, Megill stepped up, pitching 10.1 shutout frames in his first two starts of the season. The Mets identified a strong auxiliary starter who will undoubtedly slot in behind deGrom and Scherzer. Their main issue will be whether or not they can create sufficient offensive output.
Given that Cobb has only one start under his belt, I’ll put a bit more faith in his productivity than I will in Megill’s. In this case, the Mets have the upper hand. The New York Mets will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
