This is an 8* on OVER

The Dodgers look to be unstoppable right now as they’ve won eight straight games. But we should point out that five of those wins came by one run. It was 3-2 over the Mets on Friday. That was the same number of runs that we saw scored in Thursday’s game, which was a 4-1 win by the home team. We think the Dodgers will come out swinging today. It’s crucial to remember that they are the NL’s highest scoring team. Only two other National League teams are within 40 runs of their season total, those being the Reds and Braves. They should put some runs on the board here vs. Rich Hil, a former teammate of theirs. Hill typically doesn’t go past the fifth inning. The Mets’ bullpen has an ERA of 4.70 on the road, so the more we see of them, the more likely it is the Dodgers might put this one Over all by themselves. Mets’ road games average about two more runs/game than Mets’ home games. Max Scherzer, now 3-0 in three starts for the Dodgers, was supported with 14 runs when he started against the Mets last week. He allowed two runs. We think he will give up more today. Play on OVER
