Mets vs. Giants SGP predictions July 25: Bet on Willy Adames to continue power surge
The pregame narrative: New York enters Oracle Park on a four-game win streak but is an underdog against Logan Webb and the Giants. San Francisco's offence has been clicking lately as the team looks to get back into a wild-card spot.
Check out my Mets vs. Giants predictions, featuring Willy Adames and Pete Alonso.

Mets vs. Giants predictions
Parlay: Adames over 1.5 bases | Alonso under 1.5 bases | Over 6.5 runs (+400)
Adames over 1.5 total bases (+130): With the type of power Adames has flashed this month, I'm hoping he'll cash this bet on one swing.
Adames has 12 extra-base hits in 18 games this month, and he's slugging .697.
He also has a .318 BA in July and a .317 xBA, per Baseball Savant, so this doesn't seem particularly fluky.
And that's great news for Giants fans, who've seen a rather feeble version of Adames for most of his first season in the Bay Area.
Entering July, Adames had a .210/.297/.339 slash line. Here's hoping this midseason run leads to more success.
Adames doubled off New York's Clay Holmes in their only previous matchup.
MLB SGP legs
Alonso under 1.5 total bases (-205): For as strong of a month as Adames has had, Alonso has been on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Entering July, Alonso had a .541 SLG and was averaging 2.04 bases per game.
But so far this month, he has just a .403 SLG while averaging 1.39 bases.
Do I think this dip represents a new normal for Alonso? No, but I don't see him snapping out of the slump tonight with Webb on the mound.

Alonso is 2-for-16 (.125) with six strikeouts in his career against Webb. In six plate appearances vs. Webb last season, he scratched out one single.
Alonso has gone under 1.5 bases in nine of his past 11 games.
Over 6.5 runs (-195): Neither of tonight's starting pitchers has been on his A-game lately.
Offensively, the Mets have been a strong group throughout the season and the Giants have heated up recently.
New York ranks sixth in season-long wRC+ (109). San Francisco, meanwhile, has a 109 wRC+ over the past two weeks (ninth in MLB in that span).

Yankees acquire infielder Amed Rosario in trade with Nationals
NEW YORK — The scuffling New York Yankees added infield depth on Saturday night, acquiring Amed Rosario from the Washington Nationals for pitcher Clayton Beeter and a minor leaguer. Article content 'When I heard where I was going, I kind of didn't believe it,' Rosario said through an interpreter in Minnesota, where the Nationals beat the Twins 9-3. 'I mean, at some point I kind of knew I was going to get traded, but I didn't know it was going to be today.' Article content Article content The move came hours after New York said star slugger Aaron Judge is headed to the injured list — and one day after the Yankees obtained third baseman Ryan McMahon from the Colorado Rockies for two pitching prospects. Article content Article content McMahon made his Yankees debut on Saturday in a 9-4 loss to Philadelphia. New York is 21-28 following a 35-20 start and has slipped a season-high 6 1/2 games behind AL East-leading Toronto. Article content 'He's actually been a guy who we've tried to kind of get the last couple of years to varying degrees,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'Provides some defensive versatility, speed and really gets lefties, so I think it kind of makes our bench and the balance of our roster a little more workable.' Article content The versatile Rosario likely will be used mostly at third base, second base and outfield corners, and he also can play shortstop. He's a right-handed hitter with an .816 OPS against left-handed pitching this season, making him a good fit for a platoon with McMahon. Article content Article content McMahon and second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. both bat left-handed. And shortstop Anthony Volpe, a right-handed hitter, is batting just .217 in his third major league season. Article content The 29-year-old Rosario was hitting .270 with five home runs, 18 RBIs and a .736 OPS in 46 games and 158 plate appearances with Washington overall. Article content 'I helped a lot, I think,' Rosario said. 'Especially the young players. I kind of showed them the hard work I put every day, so I hope they take that from me.' Article content Rosario was one of baseball's highest-rated prospects when he broke into the big leagues with the New York Mets in August 2017 at age 21. He is a .273 career hitter with 68 homers, 110 stolen bases and a .707 OPS in nine major league seasons. He also has played for Cleveland, the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cincinnati Reds.

Mets hold off Giants 2-1 for 6th consecutive win
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Mark Vientos laced a two-run double, All-Star lefty David Peterson pitched out of trouble for six effective innings and the New York Mets held off the San Francisco Giants 2-1 on Saturday night for their sixth consecutive victory. First baseman Pete Alonso robbed Patrick Bailey of a tying double with a leaping catch for the final out. Alonso, never known for his defense, also made several terrific plays in the field early in Friday night's series-opening victory. Starling Marte doubled twice and Alonso reached base three times as the Mets maintained their half-game lead in the NL East over Philadelphia. Jung Hoo Lee had three hits for the Giants, who have lost eight of 10. New York stranded four runners in scoring position before Vientos came through with a clutch hit off starter Robbie Ray (9-5).
