In the Sunday Night Baseball matchup between the San Francisco Giants and the New York Mets, rookie Patrick Bailey is expected to shine. Bailey has been performing well recently, hitting game-tying home runs and throwing out potential tying runs. He has a strong track record against left-handed pitchers and is projected to have a good game against Mets pitcher David Peterson. Betting picks suggest taking Bailey to have over 1.5 total bases. Additionally, a same-game parlay is recommended, including Bailey's performance, Francisco Lindor hitting a home run, and the Giants winning. The Giants are favored in this matchup, as they have been playing better than the struggling Mets. The over/under is uncertain, but trends suggest a potential under.
