Dodgers vs Mets Prediction
I keep waiting for chances to trade the Dodgers because this will be a losing team at the end of the season due to such inflated prices. The problem is the Mets enter this series with a scoring issue and I doubt that changes against this Dodgers pitching. Peterson is also in a funk through 14.2 innings, posting a 6.14 ERA and 1.84 WHIP. While this series should be fun to watch from a market standpoint, the Mets are in rough shape right now, and the Dodgers aren’t a team that opponents find their footing against. Give me the Dodgers to draw first blood.
