Mets vs. Dodgers NLCS Prediction, Game 3 Best Bet
Best bet: F5 Under 4.5 (-125)
The NLCS will move from Los Angeles to New York, bringing on cooler conditions for Wednesday’s Game 3. It provides an opportunity to fade some hot bats.
Ballpark Pal’s model projects a 16% decrease in potential runs at Citi Field. The same model shows a decrease of 19% in home runs and 25% in doubles or triples.
Simply put, I expect some regression after the teams scored 19 total runs through the first two games.
While the full game under (7.5) is worth a look, I prefer the F5 market via the latest baseball playoff odds.
Luis Severino surrendered three runs on six hits in his last start after posting a 3.91 ERA in the regular season. Walker Buehler gave up six runs against the San Diego Padres, but all that damage came in the second inning.
I will bet this under at 4.5 or better with a projection below four runs.
