I know, I’m shocked, too. The Giants swept them in San Francisco in 2014, but since then, the Mets have gone 9-4 in San Francisco. Stretch it back to 2009, and the Mets are 20-14 in whatever the Giants call their home stadium.
Not sure what to make of that. Bad luck? A general weirdness stemming from the Giants and Mets being the baseball franchise equivalent of cousins? Figure, though, that the trend will continue this weekend for the four-game series and throw a wrench in the Giants’ well-oiled (and unstoppable) winning machine.
I don’t base that on anything other than general pessimism.
