New York Mets
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers (-120): B+

The Dodgers enter this matchup on a small winning streak, with momentum on their side as they visit a Mets team dealing with some key lineup and bullpen absences. Both starting pitchers have had contrasting levels of past success in this matchup, and the Dodgers’ lineup tends to fare well against the Mets’ rotation. With both teams well over .500, every game in May matters for playoff positioning, and recent trends point slightly in favour of the more consistent and healthier club at a modest favourite price.

Honestly, the Dodgers just look like the safer bet here with how things are trending, especially since the Mets are missing a few important pieces. If you’re leaning toward a side, rolling with the hotter team makes a lot of sense, even if the odds aren’t super flashy.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8.5 (-110): B+

The Dodgers come into this game on a strong run, despite stumbling recently, while the Mets are aiming to bounce back after a brief slump. Both teams are missing key pitchers, which has put extra pressure on the rest of the rotation. The lineups on both sides have consistently produced runs, and recent performances suggest a high-scoring contest is likely, especially with each offense thriving in these matchups and managers showing a willingness to keep starters in longer.

Given the current form, lineup depth, and the state of both pitching staffs, the Over 8.5 looks like a strong option here. The odds offer solid value for bettors who expect both teams to continue putting up runs, making this a spot worth targeting if you’re looking for action with a B+ level of confidence.

Spread Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers, -1.5 (-135): A-

The Dodgers arrive with some decent momentum and a lineup that has been red-hot throughout May, facing a Mets team still trying to patch together a healthy pitching staff. Los Angeles has the advantage of a deeper, more rested bullpen and a lineup that’s been generating runs in bunches on the road, while the Mets have struggled in recent games, particularly late due to heavy bullpen usage. The projected starting pitchers set up well for the Dodgers, as recent trends show a clear edge for the visiting club both offensively and defensively.

Honestly, with the way the Dodgers are playing and how thin the Mets pitching staff is right now, the run line looks like a safe play. Taking Los Angeles to cover 1.5 run line feels like the sharp move, especially with their offense clicking and the bullpen finally at full strength.
