In their last three games, the Giants have demonstrated a remarkable ability to rally late in the game. Their most recent victory saw them overcoming challenges to secure a win with a ten-inning surge that highlighted both their offensive and defensive capabilities. Despite some fielding errors, they managed to pull through with critical hits when it mattered most, showcasing a batting average of .342 in one of these games which is significantly higher than their season average.


The bullpen has shown variability but also moments of brilliance, managing an ERA of 1.8 in one game and showing potential for dominance when under pressure. This suggests that if they can maintain consistency, they could be formidable opponents for any team.

On the other hand, while hitting has been strong in clutch moments, there's room for improvement in converting runners on base into runs more consistently across all innings. The team's ability to steal bases successfully remains high which could play into their strategy against the Mets.


The Giants' performance indicates a team that thrives under pressure and can turn games around even when trailing late into matches. Their resilience will be crucial as they head into Citi Field—a venue known for its unique challenges including wind patterns that can affect gameplay significantly.
