Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Mets Prediction

McLean has held his own through 113.1 innings, but he pitches for the Mets. As I’ve said for much of the season, I’m not excited to back the Mets. This team is awful. Yamamoto has been money this season with a 2.78 ERA and 0.88 WHIP. Yamamoto has been sharper on the road through 56.1 innings, where he has a 2.24 ERA and a .182 allowed batting average. I’m always looking for chances to fade the Dodgers and these inflated prices, but this isn’t one of those spots. Give me the Dodgers.
