Mets vs. Dodgers Prediction, Winner Payout, Over/Under – Monday, April 13

Last season, the Dodgers ranked second in baseball in both runs scored (825) and OPS (.768). Their lineup has remained potent out of the gate this year, scoring the second-most runs (91) and ranking first in OPS (.864). That’s despite SS Mookie Betts (oblique) being limited to just eight games.

The Mets are off to a sluggish start at the plate, ranking 20th in runs scored (62) and 23rd in OPS (.658). A key reason for their struggles is that OF Juan Soto (calf) has only appeared in eight games and is currently on the 10-day injured list. SS Francisco Lindor has yet to hit a home run and only has a .573 OPS.

Dodgers OF Any Pages vs. Mets Projection: 5 Hitter Fantasy Score

Mets SP David Peterson vs. Dodgers Projection: 2.5 Earned Runs Allowed

  • Peterson had a 4.22 ERA last season that was backed by a 4.59 xERA. That’s despite allowing only 0.6 HR/9.
  • A major reason why the southpaw tends to struggle is that he allows too many base runners. He had a 1.37 WHIP last season and has a 1.38 WHIP for his career. On the road, his career WHIP is 1.42.
  • After holding the Pirates scoreless in his first start of the season, Peterson gave up 5 earned runs in back-to-back starts.
  • The 30-year-old has allowed 21 hits and 6 walks across 14.2 innings, leaving him with a 1.84 WHIP.

Make Mets vs. Dodgers Picks on PrizePicks

The Mets face an uphill battle when they take on the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Monday. The Dodgers usually put a lot of men on base, which has been a problem for Peterson for most of his career. In particular, he could have problems slowing down Pages, who thrives both at home and against left-handed pitchers.
