 Since 2015, the Giants have gone 7-12 (.368) against the Mets, which is their worst record against any NL opponent over that span. Since June 1, the Giants 3.51 ERA second in the NL (Dodgers, 3.40).

 The Mets scored a franchise-record 24 runs in the first game of their last series against the Phillies. In that game, the Mets had six players with at least three hits; the last MLB game in which a team had at least six players with three or more hits was exactly three years prior, on Aug. 16, 2015.

 Andrew McCutchen is leading the Giants in hits (116), runs (60), home runs (14), RBI (53), BB (64), and SB (10). He is the only player currently leading his team in all these categories, and one of three Giants in the live-ball era to do this: Barry Bonds (twice) and Willie Mays (four times) are the other two.

 Buster Posey has a career 1.019 OPS against the Mets, second only to Daniel Murphy (1.162) among active players (minimum 150 PA). Posey has not homered in his past 42 games, the second-longest single-season streak of his career.

 Zack Wheeler has earned a win in each of his last six starts, the longest active streak in MLB, and only one off the most consecutive wins in MLB this season (Jon Lester, 7). In these six starts, he has a 2.04 ERA and .204 BAA, and has 37 strikeouts in 39.2 innings.

  Derek Holland is striking out 9.19 hitters per nine innings this season after notching 6.93 K/9 last season. That improvement (plus-2.26) ranks fifth in MLB this season, behind Gerrit Cole, Patrick Corbin, Cole Hamels and Justin Verlander, in that order (minimum 120 IP in each season).
