The Los Angeles Dodgers, favored at -138, face the New York Mets in a series opener, with predictions favoring the Mets as underdogs due to Roki Sasaki’s poor form (7.28 FIP) and high hard-hit rates. The recommended bet is on the Mets moneyline (+119) and the Over 9.5 (+114), given the Dodgers’ bullpen struggles and the Mets’ recent offensive performance. Weather conditions at Citi Field are favorable for scoring. The game starts at 7:10 p.m. ET, with Sasaki and Sean Manaea as the starting pitchers.
