San Francisco @ New York picks

Although the San Francisco Giants aren’t known for their offensive prowess, they hit right-handed pitching much better than they do left-handed pitching. Since the All-Star Break, they rank eighth in wRC+ (116) against RHP, which stands as a stark contrast to their mark against LHP (79 wRC+). Frankie Montas enters Sunday with a point to prove, having allowed four earned runs or more in three of his last five outings. I’ll need to see it before I believe it. His 5.46 ERA isn’t great, and his 5.02 xERA indicates that it’s not a fluke.
