The Dodgers' bats are on fire, and the Mets are adding gasoline by trotting out David Peterson today. Look for Mookie Betts and Will Smith to send the southpaw to the showers early.The New York Mets host the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLCS at Citi Field on Friday.
MLB odds have Los Angeles as a moderate -140 favorite, while the total sits at 7.5. I’ve compiled my three best MLB player props for Game 5. As always, make sure you keep an eye on the odds and available pricing due to the ever-changing nature of the prop market.’ backs are against the wall in Game 5, and I don’t think it will help their cause that left-hander Don’t get me wrong, he did well to escape the regular season with a 10-3 record and 2.90 ERA through 21 starts. With that said, he was perhaps the luckiest pitcher in baseball from an analytical standpoint. Across that stretch, Peterson posted a 1.29 WHIP, 4.58 xERA, and .264 xBA. He also ranked in the 35th percentile or lower in average exit velocity, strikeout rate, walk rate, and hard-hit rate. That luck is going to run out, which is what we saw in Game 1 of this series as Peterson surrendered three runs on four hits in under three innings of work.If we are fading Peterson, then a correlated outcome would be for some Dodgers hitters to thrive as well. EnterThere is one thing that Peterson does well as a pitcher, and that is force hitters to hit ground balls. This season, he ranked in the 85th percentile in ground ball rate. With that said, if you don’t hit many grounders, then you should be able to pick Peterson apart. Betts ranks first in all of MLB in ground-ball rate, which takes away Peterson’s main strength in this specific matchup. Betts has also been on fire, recording 10 hits over the past seven games. He boasts a .333 BA over that stretch., who ranks second on Los Angeles in ground-ball rate. Subsequently, Smith is 2-for-3 in his career against Peterson with a single and a double. Like Betts, Smith enters this contest in good form, having recorded five hits over the past six games. A strong hitter, the Dodgers’ catcher ended the regular season ranked in the top half of the league in xwOBA, xSLG, average exit velocity, barrel rate, and hard-hit rate.: Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
