Dodgers at Mets Picks and Predictions

The Dodgers’ lineup is powered by Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, and Mookie Betts, each a top performer in power and average.

The team averaged 5.2 runs per game during the season, showcasing consistency across the batting order.

The bullpen has stepped up significantly, maintaining a 2.49 ERA in the postseason, making it a reliable force for late innings  .

Despite being underdogs, the Mets have capitalized on key situations, with recent heroics from Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor. Their lineup has been balanced and effective, and their starting pitchers, though lacking a true ace with Kodai Senga’s recent injuries, have been competitive.

The Mets have hit the over in eight of their last ten games, mirroring their scoring consistency .

Los Angeles has been relying on a mix of starters and relievers, with their bullpen performing better than their rotation due to multiple starter injuries.

The Mets’ bullpen, while effective in moments, has shown vulnerability in high-stakes situations, which could impact the game in tight late innings.

The over might be appealing, but regarding the two starting pitchers, the under might be the safer bet on this game. Count also on the Mets to even the series.
