The New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers will meet on Wednesday night at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California.

New York Mets Betting Preview
The New York Mets enter tomorrow’s game with a 7–11 overall win‑loss record, including a 4–5 mark on the road. It is noteworthy that the Mets arrive at tomorrow’s contest in rather poor form. Let me be more specific. New York has lost seven consecutive games, including a 4-0 shutout loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers two days ago.

New York will turn to right‑hander Clay Holmes. In three starts made in the 2026 regular season, Holmes has posted a 2–1 record, a 1.50 ERA (11th in MLB), 12 strikeouts, a 1.11 WHIP, while allowing 12 hits and 8 walks across 18 innings pitched. Holmes will look to build on his positive early results on the mound in tomorrow’s matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The New York Mets have compiled a quality lineup this season featuring outfielder Luis Robert Jr. and shortstop Bo Bichette. Robert Jr. enters this contest with a .300 batting average, 2 home runs, 7 RBIs and an .855 OPS. Bo Bichette has compiled 17 hits, 9 RBIs, and a .578 OPS giving the Mets a capable offensive core despite the team’s recent struggles.

Los Angeles Dodgers Betting Preview
The Los Angeles Dodgers enter Wednesday’s game with an 11–4 overall win-loss record, including a 6-3 mark at home. Los Angeles has won four of the team’s last five games played this season, including an 8-7 victory over the Texas Rangers earlier this week.

The Dodgers will turn to right‑hander Shohei Ohtani tomorrow night. In two starts made in 2026, Ohtani has compiled a 1–0 record, a 0.00 ERA, 8 strikeouts, 0.75 WHIP, while allowing 5 hits and 4 walks across 12.0 innings pitched.

Shifting our focus to the Los Angeles offense, the Dodgers continue to rely on Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages. Ohtani enters this matchup with a .267 batting average, 5 home runs (7th in MLB), 10 RBIs and a .944 OPS. Outfielder Andy Pages has amassed a .397 batting average (1st in MLB),5 home runs, 20 RBIs and a 1.131 OPS which ranks third in Major League Baseball. 

Why the New York Mets will win.

• Strong starting pitching. Clay Holmes has posted a 2–1 record, a 1.50 ERA (11th in MLB), 12 strikeouts, a 1.11 WHIP, while allowing 12 hits and 8 walks across 18 innings pitched this season.

• Enhanced motivation. The New York Mets arrive at tomorrow’s contest on the heels of a seven-game losing streak.

Why the Los Angeles Dodgers will win.

• Pitching edge. In two starts made in 2026, Ohtani has compiled a 1–0 record, a 0.00 ERA, 8 strikeouts, 0.75 WHIP, while allowing 5 hits and 4 walks across 12.0 innings pitched.

• Elite offense. Outfielder Andy Pages has amassed a .397 batting average (1st in MLB),5 home runs, 20 RBIs and a 1.131 OPS which ranks third in Major League Baseball.

• Home field advantage. The Los Angeles Dodgers have compiled an 8-3 record at home this season.

New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

In my view, this matchup favors the Los Angeles Dodgers. Why? Shohei Ohtani has pitched exceptionally well to start the 2026 regular season. In two starts made, Ohtani has pitched 12 scoreless innings with a 0.75 WHIP. Clay Holmes has been effective for New York, but the Mets enter this game on a six‑game losing streak and continue to struggle to generate consistent offense. For the reasons just noted, I am backing the Los Angeles Dodgers on the moneyline in this game.
