My Expert Score & Prediction

This should be a pretty fun game. How will Alex Wood do against a tough New York Mets lineup? After a slow start offensively, the Mets have been hitting the baseball all over the ballpark. Yoenis Cespedes is quite the challenge, but even more against lefthanded pitching. He can crush the ball well out of Dodger Ballpark if Alex Wood doesn’t be careful. Look for the Mets to out score the Dodgers in this game, especially with Jacob DeGrom on the hill. The bet for this game is the New York Mets -129 over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The final score prediction:NY Mets 4 – LA Dodgers 3.
