Dodgers vs Mets MLB Betting Preview, Prediction
While the records certainly don't show it, Game 2 of this series is a heavyweight matchup because of the two men on the mound. Yoshinobu Yamamoto gets the ball for the Dodgers, and he will face off with Mets ace Nolan McLean.
Both guys are coming into this start off some of their best performances of the season. Yamamoto tossed a complete game in Yankee Stadium while only allowing two runs on four hits. On the same day, McLean tossed six innings of shutout ball against the Phillies while striking out 10 and allowing just two hits.
Although they are both trending up heading into this duel, McLean is likely to run into trouble tonight.
The key to success for McLean in any outing is command, and over his last five starts, he's dialed it in, not having walked more than two batters in a start. However, his first-pitch strike rate is 56.8% over that same span, per Handigraphs.
Falling behind in counts can prove fatal against the best lineup in baseball. The Dodgers are not only an extremely dangerous group at the dish, but also extremely disciplined.
With the Mets bullpen fairly rested, and their high-leverage arms being the ones that are especially fresh, don't expect Andy Green to let McLean work out of trouble in the sixth as his pitch count will be high by then.
Fade the quality start of the Mets ace by taking the under on his outs prop tonight.
Pick: Nolan McLean Under 17.5 Outs Recorded (-115, bet365)
