  • Los Angeles is -550 to advance to the World Series.

The New York Mets staved off elimination for another day with a 12-6 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers during Fridayโ€™s Game 5.

New York scored three runs in the first inning and five in the third. The Mets never really looked back after that.

With the series headed back to Los Angeles, the Dodgers are now -550 to clinch the pennant at the online sportsbook.

Here is a look at the latest MLB postseason odds for Mets vs. Dodgers and my best bet ahead of Game 6:

Mets vs. Dodgers NLCS Prediction, Game 6 Best Bet

  • Best bet: Dodgers Moneyline (-145)

Based on the latest baseball playoff odds, my best MLB betting prediction for Game 6 of the NLCS is on the Dodgers moneyline (-145), as I expect them to finish the job on Sunday.

Interestingly, this is the same price tag that Los Angeles had in New York during Game 5 on Friday.

The Dodgers went 55-29 at home during the regular season. They are 3-2 in Dodger Stadium so far this postseason.

Los Angelesโ€™ elite bullpen didnโ€™t have to do as much during a stretch of three games in three days in New York. All three games were decided by six-plus runs, so the Dodgers never used more than four relievers in a contest.

I expect the market to move the Dodgersโ€™ moneyline value by the gameโ€™s first pitch, so Iโ€™m jumping on this price tag at -150 or better.
