LA Dodgers vs NY Mets Prediction: The Dodgers win the first game of the conference leaders' series

There will be a significant series in the MLB over the next few days between the National League leaders Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets. Let's pick a few bets on the first game at once.

The team must have been preparing so hard for the series with the New York Mets that they forgot to play Pittsburgh. The Dodgers looked like they didn't get on the field and lost all three games of the home series (5:6, 3:5, 4:8) to one of the underdogs of the first part of the season. Fortunately, the Dodgers had a lead and were still first in the National League West Division. The Los Angeles Dodgers have 33-17. Their closest pursuer, the San Diego Padres, 30-20.

The Dodgers' starting pitcher for the first game against the Mets is Tony Gonsolin, 5-0 and with a 1.80 ERA.

Before the trip to Dodger Stadium, the team hosted the National League underdog Washington Nationals. The Mets had no trouble winning all three meetings (13:5, 10:0, 5:0). Previously, in their home game, the Mets defeated the Philadelphia Nationals three times: 8:6, 8:2, and 5:4. In all, the Mets now held a 35-17 lead. Taking advantage of the Dodgers' losses to Pittsburgh, New York beat the Californians in the standings and led the conference.

Tyshawn Walker will pitch for the Mets in the upcoming game, 3-0 and with a 2.83 ERA.

Three straight defeats to the Pittsburgh Pirates should further motivate the Dodgers. After all, Dave Roberts' team lost the top spot in the conference standings to the New York Mets. The Dodgers have a good chance of winning the first game against New York. After all, this will be the Mets' first road game, meaning their first since their rough trip across the country. It's unlikely that Buck Showalter's team will have time to recover fully. The prediction is a win for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
