We've got two over teams throughout the season and postseason with the Mets 86-78 to the over and the Dodgers 92-69 to the over. Dodgers have beat the Mets four straight times and four out of six on the season. Four of those games went over the total. Jack Flaherty has gone over three of his last four starts winning two but he's given up 14 runs combined in those starts. I think Flaherty will be the reason this game gets over because of his contribution to the Mets even though I think the Dodgers have the edge. Over is the top play.

We didn't envision this as a possibility into June, but the Mets continue the ascent they began four months ago, and haven't stopped climbing yet. Meanwhile, the Dodger pitching reappeared just in time vs. the Padres in their NLDS, though San Diego helped the LA cause by looking to pull every pitch and hit homers as opposed. Kodai Senga has only pitched once in 2 1/2 months for the Mets, but was active again in the previous round vs. the Phils and worked two fairly clean innings. Meanwhile NY bats are itching to take swings vs. Jack Flaherty, who faltered late in the season, and a 6.52 ERA across his last four starts. Play Mets on Money Line

If we have a Yankees-Mets World Series, I swear that I will ignore it from a picks perspective. The Mets have a rest advantage for the first time all postseason. Not even sure a good thing with all their Grimace-related momentum. Gotta say I ranked Grimace low on potential Mets saviors after Cookie Monster, Hawk Tuah girl, pick your Kardashian/Jenner and Seinfeld. Perhaps a slight letdown game for LA off a charged series vs. a bitter rival? I honestly don't care who wins, just be close/interesting.
