Okay so we love the Dodgers to win here. Only problem, they are coming in at -147 or greater, a little too high for our tastes. We’d have pulled the trigger at around -140 though.

Instead we will be on the Dodgers/Mets UNDER 6.5.

Dodgers RH Zack Greinke (7-1, 2.03 ERA) has been absolutely dominant of late. He’s also played well against the Mets, going 1-1 with a 3.21 ERA in two career starts against them.

Mets LH Jon Niese (2-3, 2.54) had allowed three runs or fewer in his first seven starts but got destroyed by Washington his last time out. He is 1-0 with a 4.09 ERA against the Dodgers.

The UNDER is 8-1-1 in Niese's last 10 home starts.

Los Angeles is 11-1 in this series overall and 9-1 in New York.

The UNDER is 8-1-1 in Niese's last 10 home starts while the UNDER is 11-4 in Greinke's last 15 road starts.
