BTB Betting Pick

The Dodgers have a strong lineup, leading in batting average, on-base percentage, and slugging percentage. This gives them an edge over the Mets. With a moneyline of -195, the Dodgers are favored to win, and I recommend picking them to win straight up. The projected score is Dodgers 5, Mets 3.

The total for the game is set at 7.5. The Dodgers’ strong hitting suggests they will score well, but both teams have solid pitching, with the Dodgers having a low batting average against. I recommend taking the over at 7.5 (-112) as the projected total is 8 runs.
