MLB Odds: Mets vs. Dodgers prediction, odds and pick

The New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers are playing each other on Friday night. The Mets have a 35-18 record and a huge lead in the NL East. Los Dodgers have 34-17 record but they don't have as big of a division lead as the Mets.

The Mets are going to start Chris Bassitt against the Dodgers. The right-hander has been solid all season with a 3.66 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP. Only one hitter in the Los Angeles lineup has faced Bassit more than four times. New York has won six of their last seven games thanks to their offense.

Tyler Anderson has been effective for the Dodgers this season. He will be put on the mound against the Mets. The Mets have been worse when they face left-handed pitchers. Chris Bassitt's best performances came against good teams. He was rocked for four runs over six innings against St. Louis Cardinals and eight runs in four innings over four games against San Francisco Giants.

The Dodgers are worth a pick as a +130 underdog. Los Angeles has a good pitcher on the mound and they should light Bassitt up.
