New York Mets at Los Angeles Dodgers Preview & Picks

New York are tipped to force a winner-takes-all showdown in Los Angeles.

The Mets turn to in-form pitcher Sean Manea for this one, and that gives them an advantage over a Dodgers team that is expected to lean on the bullpen.

  • NY pitcher Sean Manea is 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA in the playoffs so far
  • New York Mets are 6-4 in their previous 10 road games
  • The Over has hit in each of the 5 previous games in this playoff series
  • The Over has cashed in 9 of the last 11 meetings overall

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Dodgers won the regular season series 4-2
  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead this MLB Playoffs series 3-2
  • New York Mets won 12-6 when the two teams last met on October 18

New York Mets Form

New York head to Los Angeles having kept their series alive with a Game 5 win in the National League Championship Series.

The Mets responded well to a 9-0 defeat in the series opener, winning 7-3 on the road, but found themselves on the brink of elimination when they suffered 9-0 and 10-2 defeats at home.

They kept their postseason campaign alive on Friday night though, as they erupted offensively to beat the Dodgers 12-6.

New York's run to the National League Championship Series was an impressive one, as they eliminated Milwaukee and Philadelphia along the way.

The Mets sandwiched a 5-3 defeat in Milwaukee with 8-4 and 4-2 wins, and they then beat the Phillies 7-2 and 4-1 to progress from the Division Series after splitting the first two games.

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles return home having passed up on the chance to clinch the National League Championship Series on Friday night.

The Dodgers opened the series with a 9-0 win at home, and then bounced back from a 7-3 defeat with 8-0 and 10-2 road wins to put themselves one win away from the World Series.

They failed to take their first opportunity to clinch though, as they were beaten 12-6 by the Mets on Friday night.

Los Angeles booked their place in this conference championship series by fighting back from 2-1 down to beat division rivals San Diego, 3-2.

The Dodgers recorded 8-0 and 2-0 wins over the Padres to set up this showdown with the Mets, and they have shut out their opponent in four of their last six games.

Verdict

Sean Manea has been in tremendous form in the postseason and the Mets offense exploded into life in Game 5.

With the Dodgers set to rely on their bullpen in this one, we like New York's chances of levelling this series on the road.
