Los Angeles rode that momentum all the way to a World Series title, knocking off the Yankees in five games to claim the franchise&rsquo;s eighth championship. This time, too, the odds are as close as they can get. <\/p><p>Here is our predictions and betting odds for this revenge game from last year NLCS.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Dodgers are WORLD SERIES BOUND!

The Dodgers (31&ndash;19) enter the weekend tied with the Phillies for the most wins in the NL. <\/p><p>However, the Dodgers are just recovering after losing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=bMnU3V89jj4\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>four straight<\/a> (which is how you can define struggle in Dodger Land) with a series win against Arizona, while the Mets (30&ndash;20) are just 1.5 games behind Philadelphia in the NL East after hitting a recent speed bump.<\/p><p>Friday&rsquo;s Mets vs. Dodgers is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET, streaming exclusively on Apple TV+.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mets vs Dodgers Preview<\/h2><p>Clayton Kershaw will take the mound for Los Angeles, looking to bounce back from a rocky season debut in which he allowed five earned runs and three walks over four innings. On the other side, New York counters with Griffin Canning, who&rsquo;s been sharp out of the gate. The right-hander boasts a 5&ndash;1 record with a 2.47 ERA and 46 strikeouts this season.<\/p><p>Offensively, the Mets have cooled off after a torrid April. Pete Alonso&rsquo;s bat has quieted, Brandon Nimmo continues to scuffle, and Juan Soto has yet to truly take over a game. Much of the burden now falls on Francisco Lindor and the middle of the lineup to re-ignite the offense.<\/p><p>Meanwhile, the Dodgers have stayed afloat thanks to their relentless lineup, even as injuries have thinned out their pitching staff. Their offense has repeatedly carried them through close games.<\/p><p><strong>ALSO READ: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/third-straight-loss-for-mets-steve-cohen-message\/\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Third Straight Loss for Mets Comes With a Side of Drama and a Steve Cohen Message<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mets vs Dodgers Betting Odds<\/h2><p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a>, the Dodgers are favorites in the first clash at Citi Field.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dodgers odds to win: -120<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mets odds to win: +100<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spread: Dodgers -1.5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Total: 8.5<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Team<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Spread<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Total (8.5)<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Money Line<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Dodgers<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-1.5 (+140)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Over 8.5 (-115)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">-120<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\"><strong>Mets<\/strong><\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+1.5 (-165)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Under 8.5 (-105)<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">+100<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mets vs. Dodgers Predictions<\/h2><p>Despite a rough start to the season, Clayton Kershaw&rsquo;s pedigree makes him a constant threat to settle in quickly, especially against a Mets line-up that has struggled for consistency.
