New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m on the Dodgers in this game. I get the case to be made for either side in this one, but I think the Dodgers have the upper hand based on the offense that’s just been far more consistent in recent games. McLean is a solid starting option for the Mets, but I just don’t trust their bats to back him up right now so give me Los Angeles.
