Mets vs Dodgers prediction
Once again we’re getting these inflated lines with the Dodgers, and I’m just not buying it right now. The Dodgers have been underwhelming this week and Gavin Stone isn’t a pitcher I’m excited to back as he’s struggled through 14.2 innings. The Mets are one of the hotter teams in the league right now as they’ve found their offense and Jose Butto has allowed 1 run through 12 innings. As Ive said many times in the past, you’re going to have chances to make money fading the Dodgers due to these hefty lines. This feels like one of those times. Give me the Mets.
