These two teams have combined to go over the total 13 straight times. Look for that trend to continue here as both teams are swinging hot bats and the situation sets up well for at least eight runs to be scored. The Mets have scored five or more runs in six of their last seven games, while the Giants are averaging more than six runs per game during their last eight contests.

The Mets' offense is far more dangerous now that Yoenis Cespedes is in the lineup. New York has smacked 29 homers in its last 20 games and draw flyball pitcher Jeff Samardzija, who isn't going to be helped by 14-to-17 mph winds blowing out.

Samardzjia has a bad history, too, versus the Mets with an 0-3 lifetime record and 8.72 ERA.

Mets starter Noah Syndergaard doesn't have a good history either against the Giants with a lifetime 6.17 ERA in 11 2/3 innings. The Giants can attack Syndergaard with power and on the bases with their renewed emphasis on speed. No pitcher has allowed more stolen bases this season than Syndergaard. The over has cashed 10 of the past 14 times Syndergaard has taken the mound.

Slated home plate umpire Clint Fagan has been a plus to over bettors. The Over has cashed 56 percent of the time he's been behind the plate during the past two seasons.
