Dodgers vs. Mets Prediction, NLDS Game 5: Friday, October 18th

As we enter this Game 5 in the NLCS it's now do or die time for the Mets! Down 3-1 in a series is a big hole to dig out of but it has been done before. Not saying I like the Mets to win today but I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest! 

With David Peterson on the bump for them, he gives them their best shot tonight, but he will have to duel it out with Jack Flaherty. Those two pitchers are the centerpiece of my favorite wager today as each one has been awesome this postseason and leading into October overall. 

Peterson has started 4 games for the Mets so far and has allowed just 2 earned runs over 8.2 innings. He hasn’t gone very deep into games though so that sets up the prop we target to make sure he is out there. 

On the other side of things, Flaherty has started 2 games and has gone 12.1 innings and has allowed just 4 earned runs during that period. I think this game starts off slow tonight so my wager in this game will be the under in the first 3 innings of the game!
