This is a 10* play on the New York Mets +1.5.

The Mets have the Dodgers on the ropes here in Game 4, but the bookmakers have LA heavily favored on the road in this elimination game. I like the Mets as a home dog on the runline here. The Dodgers have the worst road record of any team that qualified for the playoffs this season, and their ace has a history of struggling in these situations.

Clayton Kershaw (16-7, 2.13 ERA) allowed three runs on four hits and three walks over 6 2/3 innings in a 3-1 loss in Game 1. He's now 0-5 with a 6.44 ERA in his last five post-season starts.

The Mets counter with Steven Matz, and the rookie is undefeated in six starts. He was 2-0 with a minuscule 1.98 ERA in his two starts at home. He's facing a Dodgers lineup that ranked 28th in the majors in runs scored during the second half of the regular season.

The Dodgers are 4-16 in their last 20 playoff road games.

Take NYM.
