Dodgers vs. Mets Prediction, NLCS Game 3: Wednesday, October 16th

With this series now moving to New York for the next pair of games, it seems the Mets are carrying all the momentum right now! I’m not sure it will be slowing down tonight either as Walker Buehler takes the mound for the Dodgers with his 10.80 postseason ERA. 

He’s struggled all season overall as well since returning from a lengthy injury. With the way the Mets are swinging the bats, he’s in trouble tonight. 

This postseason, the Mets have scored 45 runs over the course of 9 games – which puts them at an average of 5 runs per game! Given the struggles of Buehler, I like the Mets at home a lot tonight on the offensive side. Their team total of 3.5 runs is an over I will be hammering for Game 3!

In addition to the team total, I really like the way Mark Vientos is playing right now, hitting .378 with an OPS of 1.086 so far this postseason. He has gone over 1.5 hits/runs/RBIs in 6 of the 9 games during these playoffs and I am betting he does it again tonight against this Dodgers pitching staff!
