Los Angeles Dodgers vs New York Mets Betting Preview

The New York Mets are set to face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 27, 2024, at Citi Field. The Mets will be the home team for this National League matchup. It has been a challenging season for the Mets, with a record of 22-30, while the Dodgers have been performing exceptionally well with a record of 33-22.

The Mets are projected to start right-handed pitcher Tylor Megill, who has shown promise with an ERA of 3.00. However, his 4.59 xFIP suggests that he may not perform as well going forward. On the other hand, the Dodgers are expected to start right-handed pitcher Gavin Stone, who has a solid ERA of 3.60 but also has a higher xFIP. This could indicate potential regression in his performance.

The Mets' offense ranks as the 17th best in MLB, with an average team batting average and home run ranking. In contrast, the Dodgers have one of the best offenses in the league, ranking second in overall performance and home runs.

According to the advanced-stat Power Rankings, the Dodgers have the advantage in both bullpen performance, ranking 17th, compared to the Mets' ranking of 21st. However, it's important to note that these rankings are based on underlying talent and not necessarily year-to-date performance.

In terms of recent performance, the Mets' best hitter over the last seven games has been Harrison Bader, recording 4 RBIs, 1 home run, and 2 stolen bases. For the Dodgers, Teoscar Hernandez has been their standout hitter, with a batting average of .389 and an OPS of 1.244 over the last week.

Considering the pitching matchup and offensive performance, the Dodgers appear to have an edge in this game. However, baseball is an unpredictable sport, and anything can happen on any given day. Fans and bettors alike will be eagerly watching this exciting matchup between the Mets and the Dodgers.

Quick Takes Los Angeles Dodgers:

The leading projection system (THE BAT X) projects Gavin Stone to throw 85 pitches today (13th-most of all pitchers on the slate today), considering both his underlying tendencies and the matchup.

• Pitchers who throw a lot of pitches are more likely to go deeper into the game, record more outs, and generate more strikeouts.

Andy Pages is an extreme flyball batter and squares off against the weak outfield defense of New York (#3-worst of all teams on the slate today).

• This player's skill set matches up well with the opposing team's defensive weakness, which may lead to better-than-usual performance.

The Los Angeles Dodgers projected lineup profiles as the best of all teams today in terms of overall batting skill.

• A pitcher who faces a strong opposing offense will be more likely to underperform his usual performance, particularly in terms of hits and runs, in that game.

Quick Takes New York Mets:

This season, Tylor Megill has introduced a new pitch to his repertoire (a cut-fastball), utilizing it on 12.8% of his pitches.

• Adding an extra pitch often leads to more success because it makes the pitcher more unpredictable and keeps hitters guessing more, and change-ups are one of the most effective pitches to use.

Starling Marte has primarily hit in the top-half of the lineup this year (76% of the time), but he is projected to hit 6th in the lineup in this game.

• The lower in the order a player bats, the fewer plate appearances he will get and the fewer opportunities he will get to hit the Over for every market. A player who hits lower in the order than he normally does may provide extra value opportunity since the market may be based on him hitting higher.

According to the leading projection system (THE BAT), the New York Mets' bullpen ranks as the 10th-worst out of all the teams in baseball.

• Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game's runs.
