New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers Predictions 4/18/2023

This year, the Los Angeles Dodgers are yet to experience a hot streak like the one the New York Mets are now experiencing.

A Dodgers club that established a franchise record for the most regular season victories in a season with 111 did well last year. The Dodgers are currently 8-8 going into this three-game series, which is very mediocre.

The Dodgers lost two out of the three games they played the Cubs over the weekend in Los Angeles, dropping their record at home to only 5-4 heading into this series.

In game two of the series, the Dodgers will give veteran ace Clayton Kershaw the ball.

Although Kershaw, who is in his 16th season in the major leagues, is no longer the dominant pitcher who won three Cy Young Awards between 2011 and 2014, he is still incredibly intelligent.

Kershaw has a 2-1 record to start the year with an ERA of 3.50 in three starts. In 18 innings, he surrendered 16 hits for a total of seven runs, three of which were home runs.

Kershaw only walked four times compared to 17 strikeouts. Kershaw had an ERA of 2.39 in 11 starts at home last year while going 6-0. In 64 innings at home last year, he walked just ten batters while striking out 80.

The total went OVER in 6 of LA Dodgers’ last 9 matches.
The LA Dodgers are 3-7 SU in their last 10 matches.
The LA Dodgers are 2-4 SU in their last 6 matches at home against NY Mets.

New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers. The MLB pick for this game is the Los Angeles Dodgers. Kershaw dominated at Dodger Stadium in the past and more recently.

Since the beginning of the previous year, Kershaw won seven straight decisions at home, including an outing against Arizona on April 1st this year in which he allowed four hits and nine strikeouts.

Megill was reliable this year, but last year he had trouble traveling and had an ERA close to six. The right-hander, who allowed five long balls in nine games on the road last season, is expected to get destroyed by the Dodgers lineup.

This season, LA is still trying to get hot, and what better way to do it than with Kershaw taking the hill. The Los Angeles Dodgers will win to a predicted score of 7-5.
