#967 ASA PLAY ON Los Angeles Dodgers -135 over New York Mets, Friday at 5:08 PM ET - The Dodgers can punch their ticket to the World Series with a win here and we fully expect that. David Peterson is likely to start for the Mets on the mound here and he already struggled in this series and also has not pitched more than 3 innings in over 3 weeks - back in the regular season. The other pitcher for the Mets that is expected to work some bulk innings as well in this one is Kodai Senga. He, like Peterson, also struggled against the Dodgers in that same game earlier in this series. 4 walks and 2 hits and that was in 1.1 innings. In addition to Senga and Peterson struggling, the Mets bullpen has had plenty of issues in this series as well. With the way the Dodgers are swinging the bats, we just can't see the New York lineup doing enough to stay alive in this series. The Dodgers also have the pitching edge here with Jack Flaherty getting the start plus their bullpen has been the better pen. Flaherty went 8-3 with a 2.94 ERA on the road this season. Also, he was fantastic against the Mets in the first game of this series with just 2 hits allowed in 7 scoreless innings while striking out 6! Considering all of the above, excellent line value with the road favorites here. Lay it with the Dodgers!
