New York Mets - Los Angeles Dodgers: Form Analysis
The Mets have been excellent at Citi Field this season, posting a home record of 44-21. While normally that would give them a huge edge, they are coming up against the MLB’s best road team in the Dodgers. Los Angeles is an impressive 45-23 away from home and hasn’t lost back-to-back games since July 25th, 33 games ago. The Dodgers have won seven of their last 10 and the game two loss to the Mets in this series snapped a three game winning streak for the club. The Mets have been a bit up-and-down in their form recently and have only won five of their last 10.

New York Mets & Los Angeles Dodgers Squad Analysis
Taking the mound for the visiting Dodgers is the legendary Clayton Kershaw. The big lefty is 7-3 on the year with an ERA of 2.64 in only 15 starts. This is Kershaw’s first start since August 4th, when he went four innings while giving up just one earned run on three hits. He faces off against Chris Bassitt who gets the start for the Mets. Bassitt is 11-7 on the season with a 3.34 ERA and has been having a good year overall. However, Bassitt somewhat worryingly managed only a single strikeout against the Rockies in his last outing while giving up eight hits and four earned runs. The Mets would ultimately win that game but Bassitt will likely put his team in a much worse position if he puts forward the same kind of performance against this high-powered Dodgers lineup.
New York Mets - Los Angeles Dodgers Key Points
- The Mets are 24th in the league in team OPS vs lefties in the last 30 days at .649.
- Mets’ starter Chris Bassitt struggled in his last outing, striking out only one batter in seven and a third innings while giving up four earned runs on eight hits.
- The Dodgers are the best hitting team against righties in the league with a team OPS of .795 on the season, significantly higher than the second-place Brewers are .757.
- These two teams have met six times this season with the series split 3-3. The Mets won the most recent meeting 2-1.

Our New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
We’re going to back the LA Dodgers to get the win as our pick for this game. Dodgers’ starter Clayton Kershaw is coming back from injury and will start his first game in nearly a month but shouldn’t be too rusty. Mets’ pitcher Chris Bassitt will have to contend with the Dodgers’ star-studded lineup that has been absolutely crushing right-handed pitchers this season. LA should be able to get to Bassitt here as the 33-year-old did not look great in his last start. The Dodgers should take this one in a matchup between two teams expected to make deep runs in the playoffs.
New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers - Other Interesting Predictions
Dodgers first five innings
Back Kershaw over Bassitt in this one. The first five innings line allows you to eliminate the bullpen and focus just on the starting pitcher matchup.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
