Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Mets Betting Picks

This may be the last time you ever see the Mets priced as this big of an underdog when Nolan McLean pitches for them. The Mets have mustered only nine runs in their past six games with Juan Soto on the injured list. But McLean provides plenty of hope. The 24-year-old has a 2.23 ERA across 11 starts in the big leagues. He ranks in the 90th percentile in several metrics, including xERA, xBA, and average exit velocity. McLean has a 2.70 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and an NL-leading 4.3 hits allowed per nine innings this season. The Dodgers are pitching World Series hero Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who is off to a 2-1 start with a 2.50 ERA. The Mets have the better bullpen, ranking fifth in ERA at 2.85, compared to LA's 3.33. Former Mets closer Edwin Diaz is off to a rocky start with the Dodgers, with a 6.00 ERA and 1.67 ratio. Take the Mets.
