Dodgers Offense Continues to Impress

The Dodgers’ offense has been damn good heading into this game, and on Thursday they put up 10 runs on the way to the eight run victory. Two games ago the Dodgers scored eight runs and in that game the pitching gave up zero. Shohei Ohtani is still the best player in baseball, and the postseason has shown why. On Thursday, Ohtani finished the game with a home run, three walks, one hit, one RBI, and four runs. Mookie Betts also had a huge game, hitting a home run and driving in four RBIs. 

Getting the start for the Dodgers will be Jack Flaherty, who finished the regular season with a 13-7 record and an ERA Of 3.17. Against the Mets in the last start he went seven innings giving up two hits and zero runs.  

Back Against the Wall for the Mets

The Mets have lost each of the first two games at home in this series, and if they lose a third, their season is going to be over. The pitching has been awful the last couple of games and that has really let them down. On Thursday the pitching gave up 10 runs and if the pitching is bad again here, this is going to be a long game. Mark Vientos hit a home run, but it wasn’t close to good enough. 

Getting the start for the Mets will be David Peterson, and Kodai Senga will be available in relief. In Peterson’s last appearance against the Dodgers, he went 2.1 innings, giving up four hits and three runs.

LA Dodgers vs New York Mets Prediction

The Dodgers are going to put on a show in this game. They have run up the score the last two games, and it will be much of the same here. David Peterson isn’t the answer to help this team win a game in an elimination situation. The Dodgers are going to tee off on him here, and they are going to have no issue getting the job done here. This game will get out of control here early. Back the Dodgers -1.5.
