New York @ San Francisco picks

The New York Mets are a lousy 16th in wRC+ to lefties this year, 10 spots lower than the reverse split, and Robbie Ray has looked masterful for the most part this season. His xBA is a cool .214 and his strikeout rate remains a solid 26.2%. He’s been slightly susceptible to walks and power, sure, but the Mets own a weak .131 Isolated Power against lefties with a huge downturn in walk rate as well. The pitching matchup wasn’t on the Mets’ side on Friday, but they wound up winning anyway. This time, I do believe the better of the two starters – and the better offense – will win out.
