MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Dodgers are 1-5 in their last six Friday games. Los Angeles is 91-32 in its last 123 Kershaw starts.
New York
The Mets are 5-0 in their last six games versus the NL West. New York is 4-0 in its last four home games.
Prediction:
It’s difficult to pick against Kershaw, but the Dodgers used a good portion of their bullpen yesterday after a first-inning injury to Rich Hill. Not to mention LA had lost at Baltimore the day before. The Dodgers haven’t been nearly as good on the road this season and the Mets are playing good baseball in their postseason push. Bet on Syndergaard and the hosts tonight.
