Mets vs Dodgers – Game Preview, Prediction and Player Props
Moneyline: LA Dodgers -169 | Total: 9.0
The New York Mets head to Los Angeles on Monday to kick off a four-game showdown against the Dodgers, a team they shocked less than two weeks ago. That May series saw the Mets snag two wins and hold the Dodgers’ offense to just three total runs in those games. But this time, LA’s out for revenge on home turf at Chavez Ravine.
Mets Outlook: Can the Hot Streak Continue?
After a slow start, the Mets have surged, winning seven of their last eight, capped off with a sweep of the Rockies in Denver. The big bats showed up Sunday, with Pete Alonso, Francisco Lindor, and Juan Soto all going deep. While Soto’s average has slumped to .162 over his last 19 games, he’s gone yard in back-to-back outings, something bettors should note.
New York turns to Paul Blackburn, making his first start of the 2025 season. The veteran has endured a string of injuries, but now healthy, he’ll aim to pick up where he left off in limited 2024 action. The Mets hope he can eat innings and keep the red-hot Dodgers offense in check.
Dodgers Outlook: Bats Booming but Seeking Payback
The Dodgers are coming off a 2-1 series win over the Yankees, highlighted by an 18-run eruption on Saturday. Although they dropped Sunday’s finale, the offense looks revitalized. Shohei Ohtani enters with four homers in his last six games, and Max Muncy just launched his 12th bomb of the season.
Dustin May (3-4, 4.20 ERA) will take the ball for LA. He’s looked sharper recently, winning back-to-back starts and striking out nine in his last outing against Cleveland. He’ll aim to settle the score after struggling against the Mets in previous appearances.
Player Props Picks
Shohei Ohtani – To Hit a Home Run (+330) – Ohtani’s bat is sizzling, and he’ll be licking his chops vs. a rusty Blackburn.
Pete Alonso – Over 1.5 Total Bases (+105) – Alonso’s power travels well, and he’s coming off a confident performance in Colorado.
Betting Outlook & Prediction
Look for LA to even things out and take advantage of Blackburn’s first start back. The Dodgers’ firepower is heating up, and it’s tough to keep them quiet at home.
Final Score Prediction: Dodgers 6, Mets 4
Lean: LA Dodgers RL -1.5 (+115)
Total: Over 9.0 (-115)
Bet smart, play sharp. The Dodgers are out for payback, don’t be on the wrong side of that storyline.
