Mets vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers won six of the previous ten H2H encounters, but the Mets won the series this season, 2-1. I am not sure how many innings will Paul Blackburn be able to produce, but I expect him to be rusty in his first start of the season. The Dodgers will be ready to exploit that, which is the main reason I am backing them to win. Dustin May, on the other hand, didn’t have the best of May, but he did register two quality starts out of his last four. He allowed four runs in his last two starts, which is an encouraging sign. Go with the Dodgers.
