Why Bet the Mets
You can bet on the New York Mets, because they are one of the hottest teams in all of Major League Baseball. The Mets just wrapped up a four game series in San Diego, where after losing the first two, they won the final two. New York is led offensively by Yoenis Cespedes. He is putting together just a sensational season with the Mets, with 11 homeruns and 30 runs batted in. The Mets are sending Jacob DeGrom to the mound. The right hander is 3-1 on the season with a 1.99 earned run average.
Why Bet the Dodgers
Alex Wood will take the start for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The lefthander has struggled this season, with a 1-3 record, and a 5.18 earned run average. His WHIP is 1.48 on the season, and has struck out 28, while walking 12. The Dodgers have struggled at home this season, winning just 5 of 13 games. Los Angeles is led offensively by Chase Utley, with a .298 batting average, as well as Joc Pedersen with 6 homeruns. The Dodgers are batting .241 as a team, and have scored 129 runs on the season.
My Expert Score & Prediction
This should be a pretty fun game. How will Alex Wood do against a tough New York Mets lineup? After a slow start offensively, the Mets have been hitting the baseball all over the ballpark. Yoenis Cespedes is quite the challenge, but even more against lefthanded pitching. He can crush the ball well out of Dodger Ballpark if Alex Wood doesn’t be careful. Look for the Mets to out score the Dodgers in this game, especially with Jacob DeGrom on the hill. The bet for this game is the New York Mets -129 over the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The final score prediction:NY Mets 4 – LA Dodgers 3.
