NY Mets vs LA Dodgers Prediction

I might take a stab on the Mets. Probably not touching this one in reality, though. Megill hasn’t been too bad in his two appearances so far, and he should be able to hold things together while he’s out there. In his latest outing, Megill went 5.0 innings in a loss to the Guardians with two earned on four hits and two walks. He’ll need some backup from the bats on Monday.

In their Sunday finale the Mets got a walk-off hit from Omar Narvaez that capped their comeback. The pitching was solid all around, as just two pitchers (Sean Manaea and Adrian Houser) took the mound. New York’s arms should be rested and ready for Monday’s opener.
