Prop Bets: Chicago Cubs VS Washington Nationals 2025-06-03

The main event of the evening is not the Cubs vs Nationals, but rather the Mets vs Dodgers. And what a matchup it is. The Dodgers, fresh from a series win against the Yankees, are looking to keep their momentum going against the Mets, who just swept the Rockies.

The SportsLine Projection Model is confident that the Dodgers will take the series opener, with a money line probability of 60% and odds of -165. The Mets, on the other hand, are +1.5 (-143) on the spread. But don't count them out just yet, as they're coming off a sweep and might have some momentum of their own.

One player to watch is Juan Soto, who's started to heat up with hits in each of his last three games. The model projects him to have 2.06 total bases, making the over 0.5 total bases (-185) a tempting prop bet. And if you're feeling lucky, you could also consider Teoscar Hernandez to hit a home run, as he's been on a tear with 10 home runs this year.

So, who's going to come out on top? The Dodgers' recent form and home-field advantage make them the favorites, but the Mets are no pushover. Take the Dodgers to win, but don't be surprised if the Mets put up a fight. And remember, if Juan Soto gets hot, it could be a long night for the Mets' pitching staff.
