The Mets were scheduled to play the Padres in San Diego on June 7, 2026, with a 4:10pm EDT first pitch and television coverage on SNY; radio listeners could follow on Audacy Mets Radio WHSQ 880AM, the Audacy App and 92.3 HD2. Huascar Brazobán was listed as assuming his familiar role as an opener while the club turned to Christian Scott in the series opener.
New York went into the game seeking a series victory in San Diego and trying to avoid another sweep in a getaway contest. The lineup notes emphasized the bullpen plan—Brazobán to start short and hand the ball to the middle relievers—while Scott was penciled to take a key early turn. The roster references also included Nolan McLean, with a note that the team hoped he would improve on his last two starts as they chased a sweep.
Those broadcast and pitching details are the practical takeaway for fans: if you wanted to watch or listen, SNY and the Audacy platforms were the destinations, and the pitching strategy centered on an opener followed by the club’s relief group. The preview tied that plan to a broader string of events this month—the Mets began June with a bullpen game in Seattle and had just built off the previous night’s victory against the Marlins—so the staff framed San Diego as an opportunity to keep momentum and protect starters later in the week.
Importantly for readers drawn here by the headline: this item functions as a Mets game-preview/open-thread, not a Cubs vs. Giants prediction. There are no Cubs or Giants players, no betting odds, no projected lineups for either Chicago or San Francisco and no prediction models to evaluate. The information delivered is strictly about New York’s plans for the Padres series and where to watch or listen.
That gap is the friction point. The headline promises a Cubs vs Giants prediction but the content contains nothing that would support one—no starting pitchers, no injury notes for either club, no matchup metrics, and no market lines. Without those elements, any credible Cubs vs. Giants forecast cannot be drawn from this text; the item supplies usable detail only for Mets viewers tracking the June 7 broadcast and bullpen approach.
For fans of the Mets: tune to SNY at 4:10pm EDT or listen on Audacy Mets Radio WHSQ 880AM, the Audacy App or 92.3 HD2 if you want live coverage and to follow Brazobán’s opener and Scott’s start. For anyone seeking a Cubs vs. Giants prediction, the single clear conclusion is this piece provides no basis for one—expect a separate preview with starting pitchers, lineups and odds before a responsible prediction is possible.
