<h2>Mets-Dodgers MLB Betting Preview</h2>
<p>Los Angeles took the opener of this series Thursday night 2-0. The Dodgers broke a scoreless tie with a run in the bottom of the fifth inning, added one more in the sixth, got a quality outing from starter Tony Gonsolin and three clean innings from the bullpen for the victory.</p>

<p>At 34-17 and 35-18, respectively, Los Angeles and the Mets are tied for the best record in the National League.</p>

<h2>Friday's Pitching Match-Up </h2>
<p><a class="advblue"href="https://www.sportsbettingstats.com/mlb/pitcherlog/79634&quot; title="Tyler Anderson Pitching Game Stats">Anderson</a> is 3/7 on quality starts this season and three for his last three. Last Sunday, he tossed six scoreless innings against Arizona, allowing five hits, with one walk and six strikeouts, in a 3-1 Los Angeles victory. And over his last three starts, he's allowed just two runs and 17 hits through 21 innings, with one walk against 21 strikeouts.</p>

Mets vs Dodgers Prediction 6/3/22

We give Anderson the edge in the pitching match-up, and Los Angeles owns edges in both the splits with the sticks and the bullpen comparison. Plus, the Dodgers are nine games above .500 against RH starters this year, while New York is a 500 team against lefty starters. So we like LA here, the home team, at a reasonable price.
