Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (71-46) go for a three-game sweep of the New York Mets (59-57) at Citi Field on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch is set for 7:08 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Mets with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 2-0

The Dodgers won back-to-back, 10-inning affairs in the first two games of this series. CF Cody Bellinger’s RBI double was the difference in Saturday’s 2-1 victory. C Will Smith’s two-run homer did in the Mets in Friday’s 6-5 thriller.

To make matters worse for the Mets …

RHP Max Scherzer is projected to toe the hill Sunday in his third start for the Dodgers and his 22nd of the season. He is 9-4 with a 2.67 ERA (121 1/3 IP, 36 ER), 0.89 WHIP, 12.1 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 this season.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 3 1/3 IP (due to rain delay), 0 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 6 K in 5-0 win at Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday
  • 2021 with Dodgers: 1-0, 1.74 ERA (10 1/3 IP, 2 ER), 8 H, 1 BB, 16 K in two starts
  • Career vs. Mets: 12-5, 2.70 ERA (150 IP, 45 ER), 0.93 WHIP, 11.9 K/9 in 23 starts and one relief appearance

RHP Carlos Carrasco, who made his season debut July 30 following a recovery from a hamstring injury, is the projected starter for the Mets. He is 0-0 with a 6.75 ERA (9 1/3 IP, 7 ER), 12 H, 2 BB, 9 K in three starts.

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Mets 2

Money line (ML)

LOS ANGELES (-180) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager. I usually don’t like laying this much juice, but I’m willing with Scherzer.

The three-time Cy Young Award winner has been a huge lift for L.A. since being acquired before the trade deadline. As mentioned above, he has posted a 1.74 ERA in his two Dodgers starts, and he has been solid against the Mets in his career.

He also should be well-rested after having his last start cut short because of a rain delay.

Plus, Carrasco has struggled in his 9 1/3 innings of work this season.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

AVOID. Both clubs have below .500 ATS records. The Dodgers are 56-61; the Mets are even worse at 49-67.

If you must bet the spread, the Mets +1.5 (-120) would be the way to go based on the extra-inning, one-run losses to the Dodgers the last two games.

I’ll PASS considering this pitching matchup.

Over/Under (O/U)

The lean is with Scherzer at Under 7.5 (+100) as he could pitch a gem, but New York’s Carrasco could get rocked.

That’s just too iffy. PASS.

O/U records: Dodgers 55-56-6 | Mets 49-59-5

Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The New York Mets (59-55) host the Los Angeles Dodgers (69-46) Friday for the opener of a three-game series. First pitch from Citi Field is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze the lines around the Dodgers vs. Mets odds with MLB picks and predictions.

New York paused its freefall in the NL East standings by sweeping a three-game set with the Washington Nationals earlier this week but is just 8-12 in the last 20 games.

L.A. had a four-game win streak snapped Thursday with a 2-1 loss at the Philadelphia Phillies and is 7-3 over the last 10 games. The Dodgers still sit 5 games back of the San Francisco Giants in the NL West standings.

Season series: Tied 0-0.

LHP Julio Urias gets the nod for the Dodgers. Urias is 13-3 with a 3.41 ERA (134 2/3 IP, 51 ER), 1.08 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 in 23 starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision with 5 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 3 BB and 5 K in a 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels Saturday.
  • 2021 road splits: 10-2 with a 3.07 ERA (76 1/3 IP, 26 ER), 0.98 WHIP and 5.9 K/BB in 13 starts.

RHP Tylor Megill is New York’s projected starter. Megill is 1-2 with a 3.20 ERA (45 IP, 16 ER), 1.13 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 in nine starts.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5-3, 4 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 1 BB and 5 K at the Philadelphia Phillies Saturday.
  • 2021 home splits: 1-0 with a 1.85 ERA (24 1/3 IP, 5 ER), 1.03 WHIP and 3.2 K/BB in five starts.

Prediction

Mets 4, Dodgers 3

Money line (ML)

PASS with a slight “lean” to the Mets because I like their run line price since both teams’ bullpen pitching is very good, Megill has pitched much better at home and the Mets are 36-20 in New York.

Compare Megill’s home starts written above against these road splits: 0-2 with a 4.79 ERA (20 2/3 IP, 11 ER), 1.26 WHIP and 6.3 K/BB in four starts.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

“LEAN” to the METS +1.5 (-130) for a half unit because New York is 8-4 ATS as a home underdog with a plus-1.9 run line margin and L.A. is just 28-29 ATS as a road favorite.

Also, there’s a “line freeze” in the Dodgers-Mets run line betting market since L.A. is getting a vast majority of the action but the odds haven’t budged much according to Pregame.com.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 8.5 (-125) for a half unit because New York has played to the highest rate of Unders at home this year and the Mets have gone Under in Megill’s last four home starts.

Furthermore, there’s also a “line freeze” here with the market hammering the Over at nearly an 80% clip but the total hasn’t moved from the opener.

Also, Urias has elite-level stuff as he grades in the 90th percentile or better in chase rate, BB%, hard-hit rate and exit velocity. However, my hesitancy with this total is L.A.’s 14-7 O/U record in Urias starts.
