Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers VS New York Mets 2025-05-25

The battle for baseball supremacy continues as the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the New York Mets in game 2 of their series at Citi Field. The Dodgers are looking to extend their 2-game lead in the National League West, but I'm not buying it. The Mets have a favorable pitching matchup with David Peterson on the mound, boasting a 2.86 ERA and 3.55 FIP over his first nine starts. Meanwhile, the Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin has only thrown 20 innings over his first four starts, and his lack of length is a concern.

Pete Alonso, the Mets' core hitter, has been cooling off lately, but I expect him to heat up tonight. The Mets are struggling, having lost 6 of their last 10 games, but with Peterson on the mound, I think they've got this one.

My best bet for this game is the New York Mets to win at home, with a price of 1.74 on FanDuel. I'm also predicting an Over in the same-game parlay, expecting both teams to score runs. The Over 8.5 has a price of 1.87 on DraftKings, which I think is a solid bet.

So, there you have it. The Mets are due for a win, and with Peterson on the mound, I think they'll take down the Dodgers. Don't @ me.
