Predictions and Betting Preview for the Mets vs Dodgers MLB Regular Season Game on April 17, 2023
- Where: Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, California
- When: Monday, April 17, 2023, 10:10 PM ET
Betting on the New York Mets
- Regular Season Record: 10-6
After a rocky start, the New York Mets finally seem to be hitting their stride, entering this matchup on a four-game winning streak after completing a three-game sweep against the Oakland Athletics with a 4-3 extra inning victory last night.
The New York squad has seen their offense as the main protagonist of their recovery, as they are now averaging around 4.88 runs scored per game despite still having a collective batting average of .220 (the third-best in MLB). The pitchers have also stepped up, leaving an ERA of 2.80 in their last five appearances.
David Peterson will try to continue the Mets’ pitching domination in this matchup, having bounced back from a poor outing against the Brewers with 5.2 innings and only two runs allowed against the San Diego Padres on April 11th.
Starting Pitcher: David Peterson (0-2, 4.91 ERA)
Betting on the Los Angeles Dodgers
- Regular Season Record: 8-8
Unlike their opponents, the Dodgers have yet to hit their stride this season as they head into the new week with a .500 record. They lost two out of three games in the weekend series against the Chicago Cubs, including yesterday’s game, where they were defeated 1-2.
The Californians’ early struggles can be attributed to their pitching, specifically their bullpen, which currently has an ERA of 4.76. This is negating the offensive efforts of a team that boasts an average of 5.46 runs per game, the fourth best in the MLB.
To alleviate the bullpen’s workload, Dustin May will take the mound. He has had an outstanding performance in his first three starts of the season, with an impressive ERA of 1.47. He has allowed only three earned runs in 18.1 innings pitched.
Starting Pitcher: Dustin May (1-1, 1.47 ERA)
JefeBet Prediction
Despite his previous outing, Peterson has left some feelings of insecurity, even posting a WHIP of 1.84, which is very dangerous against such a productive offense like the Dodgers. As if that weren’t enough, the Mets will also have to deal with an inspired May, who arrives with confidence and is perfectly capable of stopping them despite their good offensive momentum.
This Mets vs Dodgers will be a very close game, but at JefeBet, we trust that May will maintain his level while his teammates exploit Peterson’s weaknesses to make him suffer and guide the Dodgers to another victory.
Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers Moneyline (NYM 3-6 LAD)
