Free MLB Pick
Brett Anderson takes the mound for the Dodgers tonight and they have only won 1 of their last 5 games with him on the hill facing a team that has a winning record. He only has one post-season start in his career and that was in 2012 when he was with the Oakland A’s and in that outing he was solid not giving up any runs on only 2 hits in 6 innings in an Oakland win. Matt Harvey will be making the first post-season start of his career tonight and the Mets have only won 1 of their last 5 games when he has gotten the start at home.
The Mets are the big favorite in this game at home, but I think Anderson will have a good outing and the Dodgers will win taking a 2-1 lead in the series.
