Zack Greinke Los Angeles Dodgers

NYM vs LAD Game 2 Betting Preview

The New York Mets struck first in Game 1 of their National League Divisional Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers but they’ll have their hands full in Game 2 Saturday evening in the Golden State.

Shark Bites
  • Mets slugger Yoenis Cespedes hasn't homered since September 14.
  • Dodgers OF Andre Ethier is 4-for-31 over the last three postseasons.
  • The Over is 16-6-2 in the last 24 meetings between the clubs.

Star Dodgers hurler Zack Greinke will take the bump, while the Mets will counter with young gun Noah Syndergaard. Greinke (19-3, 1.66 ERA) and Syndergaard (9-7, 3.24 ERA) will be looking to follow up a pair of stellar pitching performances by Clayton Kershaw and Jacob deGrom in the series opener. deGrom finished with 13 strikeouts, but Clayton Kershaw’s postseason woes continued once again.

Los Angeles has lost eight straight playoff series after dropping the Sportsbook game, a trend that will surely worry Dodgers backers especially if they head to The Big Apple down 2-0.
