Dodgers vs. Mets Game 5 MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Jack Flaherty starts tonight for the Dodgers and he’s had issues with Mets’ DH Jesse Winker. The two players squared off plenty when both were in the National League Central and Winker has had Flaherty’s number. In 27 career plate appearances versus Flaherty, Winker has nine hits, including three doubles and two homers.
One of those nine hits came in Game 1 of this series. Flaherty cut through the Mets’ lineup like a hot knife through butter, but he also allowed a single to Winker to lead off the top of the fifth. At Fanduel Sportsbook, you can get Winker to record a hit at -130, which is a reasonable price for a hit prop.
Dodgers vs. Mets Game 5 MLB Playoffs Prediction: Jesse Winker to record a hit (-130)
