The Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Mets play the second game of a four-game series tonight.
Last night's affair was a pitcher's duel, as Los Angeles took the first game of this series.
Starting was Tony Gonsolin for the Dodgers and Taijuan Walker for the Mets. Both pitchers looked great, but Gonsolin was better. Gonsolin allowed just two hits in six shutout innings.
The Dodgers managed to score two runs on Walker. That's all they would get in this game, but it would be all they would need.

Starting tonight arre Tyler Anderson for the Dodgers and Chris Bassitt for the Mets. Both pitchers are in their first year with their respective clubs, and both are having fantastic seasons.
Anderson has a 6-0 record and boasts a 2.90 ERA. He hasn't allowed a run in 15 innings, and he will look to continue that streak today.
Bassitt has a 3.66 ERA, and that low number is still skewed by one bad start against the San Francisco Giants. In six of his 10 starts, he's allowed one or fewer runs. He's well equipped to match up against Tyler Anderson.

New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Best Picks
When in doubt, bet Betts. The Dodgers have an explosive lineup, and there is never a bad bet on who's going to shine on any given night. However, Mookie Betts is at his best when he's at home. Last night, he went two for four with an RBI, and bettors should expect a repeat performance.

Tyler Anderson seems to get better and better as this season progresses. His strikeout totals are climbing, and he seems to be in a groove. Of course, the Mets don't strike out much — only four teams strike out less — but there's no reason to think he can't manage 5 Ks.
Tyler Anderson Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-128)
New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
This is one heck of a pitching matchup, runs will be hard to come by, but someone has to come out on top. Bettors should expect Tyler Anderson to improve on his perfect record.
Dodgers -1.5 (+130) & Under 8 Runs (-108)
