NY Mets vs LA Dodgers Prediction 10-16-24 MLB Picks

In this article, we will formulate a NY Mets vs. LA Dodgers prediction for this MLB Game on Tuesday, October 16th, at Citi Field. The winner of this series will face the Yankees or Guardians in the World Series.

Mets Have Home Field

The Mets might have lost the first Game of the series, but in the second Game they scored seven runs and that was enough to even up the series, and take back home field. The Mes jumped out to a fast start, and they scored five runs in the second inning, including a grand slam by Mark Veintos. Sean Manaea had a couple of fishy innings, and he went five innings, giving up two hits and two runs. He had seven strikeouts and four walks. 

Getting the start for the Mets will be Luis Severino who sits with a 1-0 record and an ERA of 4.50. In his last start against the Philadelphia Phillies he went six innings giving up six hits and three runs. It wasn’t an awful start, but Severino is going to need to be a lot better here. 

Why the Mets Will Beat the Dodgers 

• The Mets have won eight of their last nine home games.
• The Dodgers have lost each of their last 10 Wednesday games as underdogs against NL East opponents.
• The Mets have covered the run line in each of their last eight Wednesday night games at Citi Field.
• The Dodgers have failed to cover the run line in four of their last five road playoff games after not playing the previous day.

Dodgers Need This Win

The Dodgers aren’t in a must win spot yet, but they don’t want the Mets to get all the momentum, and that’s what would happen if they are to lose this game. In the first game, the Dodgers won 9-0, and it looked like they had all the momentum. In the last game though, the pitching gave up the runs early and even though they ended up fighting back, they ended up losing 7-3. The Dodgers had a bullpen game and one guy blew it all for them. Landon Knack went two innings, giving up five hits and five runs. 

Getting the start for the Dodgers will be Walker Buehler who sits with an 0-1 record and ERA of 10.80. In his last start against the Los Angeles Dodgers he went five innings giving up seven hits and six runs. 

NY Mets vs LA Dodgers Prediction

The Mets were able to win Game 2 and now that they go home, and they are going to continue the same success here. Buehler sits with an ERA of 10.8 during the playoffs, and in the last Game he gave up six runs. The Mets offense ran up the score in the second Game, and it’s going to be the same here. Buehler gave up six runs at his last start, and it’s going to be much the same here. The Mets are going to tee off on him here, and the Mets are going to end up cruising to the victory. Back the Mets on the money line to cash here.
