The San Francisco Giants will visit Citi Field tonight to open a 3-game set against the struggling New York Mets. The Mets have lost 2 in a row and 4 of their last 5. They will turn to Noah Syndergaard to throw strikes. Syndergaard has not been his normal lights out. He is 3-4, with a 4.90 ERA, and a 1.27 WHIP. Over his last 3 turns, Syndergaard is 0-1 and his ERA has grown to 5.40. The Giants will counter with Madison Bumgarner. Mad Bum, who sits at 3-5 with a 4.01 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP, is starting to find his groove. Over his last 3, he is 1-1 and has lowered his ERA to 3.93. Bumgarner has been a Met killer in his career. He is a perfect 6-0 with a 1.69 ERA and at Citi Field he is 5-0 with a ridiculous ERA of just 0.73. Mad Bum keeps it perfect.
