New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers here. I think there’s a bounce back in store as I haven’t loved Megill’s form as of late and the Dodgers have had the Mets’ number over the years with Kershaw on the bump. The Mets are playing well, but they’re not impervious to losing a game here and there and I think the Dodgers get some revenge on Tuesday. Give me the Dodgers.
