SF Giants probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. New York Mets, May 25
The Giants are in the midst of a three-game winning streak. They went the first 40 games of the year without winning three in a row, but they have now completed two three-game winning streaks in the last 10 days. This winning streak has included three, comeback victories. It would be swell for everyone's health if they could win in a more traditional way, but a win is a win.
Hicks has been the Giants' best starter in the early going. He has a 2.38 ERA, 3.50 FIP, 1.11 WHIP, 6.8 K/9, and a 2.35 SO/W ratio through 10 starts.
Who it hot?
The defense has been rough for Marco Luciano. He has made a trio of critical errors and that is something that needs to change one way or the other. At the plate, he has looked good. Luciano tallied the first three-hit game of his young career and he has now recorded a hit in four of his last six games.
Who are the SF Giants facing?
The Giants are facing off against Luis Severino. Severino as a 3.48 ERA in nine starts for the Mets in 2024. This includes an outing against the Giants earlier in the year where he yielded three earned runs in six innings in a 5-1 loss.
