LA Dodgers vs New York Mets Prediction

Walker Buehler wasn't good this season, and he got rocked by the Padres for 7 hits and 6 runs in 5 innings in the playoffs. Luis Severino was solid in September, but he's allowed 14 hits and 6 earned runs in 12 playoff innings. I'm not thrilled with either of these pitchers. With all that said, this is a pick em spot and the Mets just feel like a team of destiny that just won't die. At home, Citi Field is going to be absolutely rocking. I'm just not trying to step in front of these Mets. It's that simple. Give me the Mets.
