Mets vs Dodgers Prediction

Two lineups that are capable of producing and two pitchers that aren’t scaring anybody. Sasaki has a 4.98 ERA and 1.34 WHIP on the season, and he’s allowed 16 hits and 9 earned runs in his last 14.2 innings. In 41.2 innings on the road, Sasaki has a 5.40 ERA and .250 allowed batting average. Manaea has a 4.74 ERA and 1.36 WHIP on the season and has a 4.82 ERA and .265 allowed batting average at home. This feels like a high-scoring game. Expect some offense. Give me the over.
