Giants vs Mets Pick 10-05-16 National League Wild Card Prediction

Mets manager Terry Collins originally did not intend to start any of his regulars Sunday, but Curtis Granderson, Asdrubal Cabrera and Jay Bruce all asked to get at-bats because they would not have another opportunity until Wednesday and preferred to minimize the layoff.

And the Bochy Giants have never gone into the postseason after such a poor second half; this year, they were 30-42 in the second half. And with the Giants clinching on Sunday, Bumgarner is now set up to face the Mets in the Wild Card.

The San Francisco Giants are 1-2 this year at Citi Field and 3-4 against the Mets overall. It was a performance unlike any we’ve seen in recent years. The Mets reached the postseason in consecutive seasons for the second time in club history (1999 and 2000). When they came back the next evening, Bumgarner put any comeback hopes to bed for Detroit, allowing just two hits over seven innings of work as the Tigers wouldn’t score another run until the third inning of Game 4. In their last game of the season, they will start Noah Syndergaard against Jerad Eickhoff.

“Everybody realizes this is do-or-die”.

Andres Blanco started the inning against Erik Goeddel (2-2) with a single, advanced to second on a passed ball and scored the tying run on a double error by first baseman Lucas Duda, who booted pinch hitter Cody Asche’s grounder and then threw it wild to first. They are a middle of the pack team in terms of stealing bases and will likely try to take extra bases as that is the biggest weakness in Syndergaard’s game. He said, “After the game Saturday, I did not feel that good and that’s why I did not celebrate”. It’s actually a lot of fun. You’re going to face tough pitchers in the playoffs.

In an NL series opening Friday, Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers are minus-140 favorites over Max Scherzer and the Nationals in Washington.

Tomas hit a three-run homer, his 31st home run of the season, to cap a five-run first inning. San Francisco went on to win the franchise’s first World Series since moving West in 1958.

The Giants were 57-33 at the All-Star break, the best record in the majors. “We had two different halves”.

As you may have figured out, it’s possible we’ll have a three-way tie in the AL. In the dugout, Bochy committed to staying with Moore as long as he could. You get kind of numb to the situation – ‘Hey look, somebody’s out.’ Well, somebody else has got to play there. This is 2016 however and he has not been quite the same pitcher this year. “We got here and now we’re going to just use that to keep going from here”. “And I think we did that”.

Dodgers: Roberts confirmed Josh Reddick and Andre Ethier will be on the playoff roster, with Charlie Culberson still “in the mix”. Numerous same faces have been around for them all.

The Blue Jays can secure the top AL Wild Card berth by winning on Sunday and are guaranteed at least a tiebreaker game.

“After Clubs have been assigned their A, B and C designations, Club A would host Club B. The victor of the game would be declared one Wild Card victor”. He pitched six shutout innings May 1 in the lone game the Giants won during their three-game series in Flushing, Queens.

Scenario to get there: San Francisco loses AND St. Louis wins.
