Dodgers vs. Mets NLCS Game 6 Prediction: Odds, Expert Picks, Pitching Matchup, Betting Trends and Stats

The New York Mets forced the National League Championship series back to SoCal with a 12-6 defeat of the Dodgers on Friday night. As has been the norm in this series, the game was one-sided. None of the five games in this series so far have been close to 4 runs and the average run differential for games is 7 runs per game.

New York’s Pete Alonso set the tone in the first inning of Game 5 with a 3-run blast over Jack Flaherty. The lead grew to 8-1 after a 5-run third game by the Mets. Starling Marte drove in some runs in Inning #3 with one of her 4 doubles.

Mookie Betts’ hot streak at the plate continued as he scored once again and Andy Pages sent two over the outfield fence, but it wasn’t enough for the Dodgers to close out the series.

Game 6 is Sunday night at Chavez Ravine. Sean Manaea moves up to Mets. The Dodgers are undecided on their starter as they appear poised to make Game 6 a bullpen game.
