New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Odds, Line, Picks, and Prediction - August 31 | 2022 MLB Season

The New York Mets will face the Los Angeles Dodgers in the second of a three-game series at their home in Queens on August 31. Kick-off is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. EDT.

Last night, the Dodgers managed to take the first game 4-3, courtesy of Gavin Lux's two hits in four AB. As expected, it was a close game between two of the best performing teams in the National League. With this win, the Dodgers have taken their overall record to a whopping 90-38. They will look to extend their winning streak tonight.

The Mets showcased a good defensive display on the field but lacked just a few fireworks in their offense. They managed to keep the game tied at 3-3 until the seventh inning. But eventually a Lux single drove in Freddie Freeman for the winning run. The Mets will look to immediately strike back at the Dodgers tonight and improve their 82-48 overall record.

"First to 90 Wins." - Dodgers

The Mets will start Jacob deGrom on the mound tonight. This will be only his sixth outing this season since making his comeback after a season-long injury. The 34-year-old is a fan favorite at Citi Field and has been with the franchise for almost eight years now. He has an ERA of 2.15, a WHIP of 0.55, and a W-L of 3-1 in his last five outings this season.

The Dodgers will reply by sending the vastly experienced LHP Tyler Anderson to the hill against the Mets. He has an ERA of 2.69 with 111 K's, a WHIP of 1.02, and an overall record of 13-2. He has been absolutely sensational from the mound this season. He has a good slider and a nasty variation to his breaking ball, which makes it difficult to hit against him. He will look to dominate tonight.
