New York Mets at Los Angeles Dodgers 5/29/19 – MLB Pick, Preview, Prediction
The New York Mets are a team that has really looked good at some points in time, but at other points in time the Mets have looked really poor on the season and not like the team that last year was very competitive in the way they played.

However, the Dodgers are a team that would like to continue to pick up even more wins and playing against the Mets who have had some problems in getting the wins closed out and even lost the opening game of the series it could be easier for the Dodgers to bring home the win.

The Mets have lost quite a few games on the road this season and when playing at home the Dodgers have been very difficult to beat. What else will help the Dodgers out is the fact that they are sending out Buehler to the mound who has been playing great for the Dodgers this year. Even with Syndergaard on the mound the Mets are going to have some problems in getting the win locked down as the offense will be shut down by Buehler and the strong Dodgers defense. Final Score, Los Angeles Dodgers win 5-2.
