0:00It's April 2nd. This is New York Metz News Today, powered by AI, your team, your update. The New York Metz, sitting at three wins and three losses, face off against the San Francisco Giants who are two and four in a four game series. Starting tonight at Oracle Park. It's the third place metz in the NL East versus the fifth place, Giants in the NL West, with first pitch at 9.45 pm Eastern 6.45 pm Pacific on Thursday, April 2nd. Both squads are looking to shake off recent skids. The Giants just got smoked 7-1 by the Padres and have been ice-cold offensively to open the year. Meanwhile, the Metz have dropped their last two games, scraping together just one run across them, standings wise, this could shift some early division vibes, especially with the Giants desperate for momentum at home. Better see the Metz as slight favorites, but the Giants get plus 1.5 on the spread, plus 1.10 money line for them, minus 1.34, New York, and over-under sitting at seven runs.

1:04Tonight's arms bring some intrigue. Metz starter David Peterson is 0 and 0, with a spotless 0.00 ERA through his first outing. Giants go with Robby Ray, 0 and 1, 3.38 ERA, in mild 62 degree weather on the open grass field. Tune in on MLB Network, NBCS Bay Area, or SNY, or Streamit Live on ESPN Plus, or MLB.TV.
