MLB Betting Trends
Los Angeles
The Dodgers are 4-1 in their last five games overall. Los Angeles is 15-5 in the last 20 Ryu starts.
New York
The Mets are 8-2 in their last 10 Saturday games. New York is 3-7 in the last 10 deGrom home starts.
Prediction:
New York has a 14 percent chance of making the postseason after last night’s loss and with its best pitcher on the mound today, it can’t afford another home defeat. Ryu has regressed considerably over the last month-and-a-half and as long as New York can get to him for a few runs, deGrom should be in fantastic shape as he can shut down even the best offenses. I’m going with New York to get a needed win tonight.
