Dodgers Game Today: Dodgers vs Mets Lineup, Odds, Prediction, Pick, TV, Live Stream for Aug. 14

The Los Angeles Dodgers have been playing excellent baseball since the All-Star Break, but that hasn’t seen them gain any ground on the Giants in the NL West standings.

However, they might have a chance to pick up some momentum against the Mets, who they defeated in extra innings on Friday night despite a meltdown from the bullpen in the seventh inning that saw New York erase a four-run deficit to tie the game.

The two teams will continue their series in Queens on Saturday night, and Dodgers fans will be hoping the bullpen is more effective. With the Giants refusing to give an inch, every game is important, and Los Angeles simply can’t afford to blow big leads late in games.

Dodgers vs Mets Odds Today

According to our friends at WynnBet, the Dodgers are heavy -190 favorites on the money line ($bet 190 to win 100), while the Mets come in at +175 (bet $100 to win $175). If you prefer the run line, LA is -120 to win by at least two runs, and New York is +100 to cover +1.5.

The over/under is currently set at 8.5 runs (over -105, under -115), which isn’t surprising when you consider who’s taking the mound for the Mets.

Dodgers Pitcher Today

The Dodgers will send their ace, Walker Buehler, to the mound. A clear favorite to take home his first career Cy Young Award, Buehler is 12-2 with a league-leading 2.13 ERA, 152 strikeouts, a 0.935 WHIP, 2.3 walks per nine innings and a 3.12 FIP for the season.

We could go on, but you get the point: Buehler is arguably MLB’s best pitcher this year.

Luckily for the Dodgers, Buehler will face a pitcher in Taijuan Walker whose season has been spiraling out of control since the All-Star Break. After going 7-3 with a 2.50 ERA in the first half, Walker has lost four straight decisions and has seen his ERA balloon to 3.89.

Dodgers Starting Lineup

Hard to have any qualms with this beauty of a card!

Dodgers vs Mets Prediction Today

Walker is clearly feeling the effects of not pitching much over the last two seasons — he’s given up 10 (!) home runs over his last four starts (20.2 innings) — so expect the Dodgers’ bats to be in attack mode. We also like to think Buehler will shove against a Mets lineup that’s been amongst the worst in the NL all season. Los Angeles will take this one by a final score of 6-2.

The Los Angeles Dodgers should probably extend Trea Turner, huh? Even if not, Gavin Lux is now very much expendable this offseason.
