The New York Mets go for the season-series victory against the San Francisco Giants in the opener of this weekend’s series on Friday.
The New York Mets host the San Francisco Giants for their final series of the season starting on Friday night. New York leads this season series, 3-1, after winning the four-game set in San Francisco all the way back at the beginning of April. Neither team has met expectations this season, but the Mets are coming off an impressive series win, beating the Tampa Bay Rays, who have the best record in the American League. New York is 63-77 coming into this series and has a 32-39 mark at home. The Giants are coming off a series loss against the Pittsburgh Pirates and are now 58-83 and 25-47 on the road. The Mets will be the big -191 favorite at home to win this opener tonight. New York will start Nolan McLean on Friday, who is 10-8 with a 3.06 ERA in 155.2 innings. The Giants will counter with Matt Wilkinson, who is still looking for the first win of his career. He made his debut on Aug. 19 against the Cleveland Guardians on the road. That was no decision, but he has lost two games since. Wilkinson is 0-2 with a 4.63 ERA in 11.2 innings.

The Mets won the rubber match in a statement victory, beating Tampa Bay on the road 10-4 on Wednesday. Rookie Nick Morabito had a game that he will never forget when he collected his first major league hit, which was a three-run double. He would go on to make a great play in left field. Brett Baty hit an RBI double in the third to also drive home three more, which essentially put the game away. Juan Soto hit a solo shot in the eighth to put the cherry on top for New York.
The Giants didn’t have the same fortunes in their rubber match on Thursday, losing to Pittsburgh, 5-2. The Pirates’ pitching was just too much for the Giants. Pittsburgh used six pitchers to allow just two hits the whole game. The Pirates built a 4-0 lead by the sixth inning. Lee doubled to drive in the first run of the game for San Francisco, and the Giants scored another on a groundout in the seventh. The Giants couldn’t score again, though, and the Pirates got some insurance in the eighth on a sac fly.
