When the Mets played the Giants on August 19, they were 61-62 and 5 1/2 games behind in the chase for the NL's second wild card spot. But Terry Collins' team had the best record in baseball (26-13) the rest of the way and became the first team since the 2005 Astros to be under .500 that late in the season and make the postseason. Tonight, the Mets (No. 14 in the regular season Dunkel Index) will try to advance further as they host the Giants (No. 11 in the Dunkel Index) at Citi Field. Noah Syndergaard (14-9, 2.60) gets the start for New York, while Madison Bumgarner (15-9, 2.74) takes the mound for San Francisco. To get our pick for this game, click on the Baseball icon above.
