New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction: Dodgers remain favorites again

Citi Field will host the semifinal MLB playoff encounter between the New York Mets and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the lead. Can the New York Mets secure a win?

The New York Mets have much to do after a poor performance in game three of this fixture. In the first game, the New York Mets struggled, conceding nine runs and failing to score any. However, this team pulled off a 3-7 win in game two to level things, but in game three, they conceded eight while failing to score. Heading into this game, the New York Mets have three defeats, one other against the Philadelphia Phillies.

In the meantime, the Los Angeles Dodgers held their opponent to zero runs while scoring eight in game three. Entering into this game, Los Angeles Dodgers Los Angeles Dodgers have four wins in their last five games, defeating the San Diego Padres in other encounters.

The Mets at home can not be written off, but their performance in game three is very disappointing. The Los Angeles Dodgers should be the better team, looking at how they have shown character in this fixture, and I am backing them to win. While I expect more defensive play, a bet on a few runs is another possibility.
