The New York Mets (3-3) head west to open a four-game series against the San Francisco Giants (2-4) on Thursday night, with both teams looking to build momentum early in the season. New York is coming off a series loss to the Cardinals, while San Francisco impressed with a series victory over the Padres.

This opener features a left-handed pitching matchup, as David Peterson gets the ball for the Mets opposite veteran Robbie Ray for the Giants. Both arms bring experience and swing-and-miss ability, setting up what could be a tightly contested game under the lights at Oracle Park.

Mets vs. Giants Current Odds

Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook lists New York as a slight road favorite in the series opener:

  • Moneyline: Mets -125, Giants +105
  • Run Line: Mets -1.5 (+135), Giants +1.5 (-160)
  • Total (Runs): Over 7.5 (-110), Under 7.5 (-110)

Both teams enter this matchup with plenty to watch offensively, especially on the Mets’ side. High-profile additions Bo Bichette and Marcus Semien are still searching for their rhythm early in the season, combining for a slow start at the plate. Their production will be key as New York looks to get over .500.

Juan Soto, however, continues to be the centerpiece of the Mets’ lineup. After finishing third in National League MVP voting in 2025, he enters this season as a top contender once again, currently holding +750 odds to win the 2026 NL MVP Award at Hard Rock Bet Sportsbook, trailing only Shohei Ohtani.

For San Francisco, getting a strong outing from Robbie Ray could set the tone for the series. The former Cy Young winner remains a key piece of the Giants’ rotation and will look to capitalize on a Mets lineup still trying to find consistency.
