Dodgers vs Mets Prediction
I’m on the over in this one. Tony Gonsolin has been getting hit hard in a lot of his recent outings, and the Mets have some potent bats that could get to him in a spot like this. On the other side, I think Griffin Canning’s been a bit lucky to have his ERA and starts where they are, and he faces a Dodger lineup that’s been smacking right-handed pitching over the last week. Give me the over in another offensive display here.
