San Francisco Giants

The San Francisco Giants have chosen pitcher Carson Whisenhunt to start on Sunday, despite his struggles in his MLB debut last week where he conceded four runs on five hits in five innings. The rookie righty has posted subpar numbers in the minor leagues but is considered the team's top pitching prospect. The Giants are currently five games out of a wildcard spot and have dropped five consecutive series due to offensive struggles. Top players like Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, Heliot Ramos, and Matt Chapman have had mixed performances recently. The team is averaging 4.06 runs per game and their pitching staff has a 3.62 ERA, ranking them sixth in the league.

New York Mets

Franke Montas will be starting for the New York Mets on Sunday, despite struggling in his recent outings. Montas has only made six starts this season due to injury and has yet to find his groove, posting a 5.46 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. However, he has had success against the Giants in his career, with a 2.38 ERA in 22.2 innings pitched.

The Mets are currently in a tight race with the Phillies for the top spot in the NL East, only half a game behind. The team recently bolstered their bullpen by acquiring relievers Ryan Helsley and Tyler Rogers. Despite a rough series against the Padres, where the offense scored seven runs but the pitching allowed 19, the Mets have a strong 37-17 home record.

Juan Soto has been on fire, recording 15 RBIs last month and hitting 25 home runs with 63 RBIs on the season. Brandon Nimmo and Mark Vientos have also been productive, while Pete Alonso has struggled against the Giants this year. Overall, the Mets have a solid pitching staff with a 3.56 ERA, ranking them fourth in the league.

San Francisco Giants Struggle as New York Mets Maintain Dominance

The San Francisco Giants have faced significant challenges recently, losing six of their last seven games and each of their past five series. On the other hand, the New York Mets have demonstrated strong performance at home with a record of 37-17, and they recently swept the Giants on the road. The Giants are currently dealing with pitching staff injuries and will be starting rookie Carson Whisenhunt, who struggled in his debut earlier this week. In contrast, Mets pitcher Frankie Montas has shown consistency in his recent outings, allowing two or fewer runs in two of his last three starts. Montas has also maintained a 3.31 ERA at home, contributing to the Mets' success in three of his past four starts. The Mets have been particularly successful in securing wins by two or more runs in four of their last six victories.
