The Met's head west for a four-game series against the Giants at Oracle Park, both teams sitting around 500 after early stumbles. New York is 3-3, coming off just one win in St. Louis, while San Francisco is 2-4 with the worst offense in baseball at 2.33 runs per game. This bats exploded for 11 on opening day, but cooled fast, averaging under four runs overall. Meanwhile, the Met's lineup leans heavy on stars like Francisco Lindor and Juan Soto, who are crushing above league average, but the rest of the crew. Lags behind. They're pitching shines though, third best ERA at 2.50 and sixth in run prevention. Giants pitches hold steady two, 12th in preventing runs, fresh off taking two of three from San Diego. Fans are buzzing about old faces like Harrison Bader, now with San Francisco on a $2-year

1:02$20.5 million deal, but he's hitting. Just 182 so far. Travel hits the Met's hard-no-off days flying coast to coast, now and again in 11 days, plus their road woes in the Bay Area lately add pressure. Pitching matchups look solid. Thursday David Peterson, scoreless in his debut, faces Robbie Ray, who tossed 182 innings last year. Friday, Nolan McLean, versus Tyler Mahol, Saturday clay homes against lander Rubes Jim, and Sunday code I sing a strong return, versus Logan Webb. Unlucky with a high ERA, despite sharp stuff. This clash could go either way with shaky bats on both sides, but elite arms might keep it low scorn. Keep an eye on those Met stars to spark.
