Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Mets Betting Prediction
The Mets send RHP Taijuan Walker to the hill against L. A.’s top-ranked scoring offense on Tuesday night (5.40 RSPG), who’s arguably having the best campaign of his ten-year career sitting 10-3 with a 3.38 ERA across 22 starts this season (1.18 WHIP), which already includes a losing performance against the Dodgers (5.2 IP, 7 H, 2 ER).
On the other hand, the Dodgers send LHP Andrew Heaney to the mound against New York’s fifth-ranked scoring offense tonight (4.71 RSPG), who’s dominated since returning from his shoulder issue, considering he’s yielded an impressive 1.94 ERA and 1.01 WHIP across nine starts this season (41.2 IP, 9 ER), which is an enormous upgrade from his career 34-39 record and 4.55 ERA (1.25 WHIP).
I’ll take the over here, as the Dodgers’ lineup saw the ball well in their first go-around against Walker earlier this season (5.2 IP, 7 H), and Walker has struggled recently highlighted by his 6.31 ERA across his last six starts (1.60 WHIP); setting the stage for a relatively high-scoring battle against the against the Dodgers and Heaney, who’s 1-1 with a 4.61 ERA in his last three outings for Los Angeles (13.2 IP, 7 ER).
Score Prediction: Mets 6, Dodgers 5
Best Bet: Over 8.5 (-110)
