Rickenbach MLB *8* New York Mets Run Line -1.5 +140 vs LA Dodgers @ 8:35 ET - Look for the Mets to win this one in a blowout and that's why I am taking them on the run line here. They should win by 2+ runs and the -1.5 is offering the opportunity for a solid plus money return. The Mets Matt Harvey is fully capable of a dominating effort here. He has a 1.02 ERA in his last three starts with 24 strikeouts in 17 and 2/3 innings. Harvey has gone 8-3 at home this season while the Dodgers Brett Anderson comes into this outing struggling. The Dodgers southpaw has a 7.16 ERA in his last three starts and he's been registering very few strikeouts in recent starts. Anderson also has allowed 3 homers in his last 16 and 1/3 innings of work. As a road dog of +150 to +175 the Dodgers are on a 4-8 run. The Mets, as a home fave of -150 to -175 are on a 22-12 run. As for laying the extra run here...the Mets last 37 victories have featured 31 by 2+ runs. In other words, when they win, they usually win big and that is what I am forecasting tonight as they have a huge edge on the mound in this one. By the way, 7 of the Dodgers last 8 losses have come by a margin of 2 runs or more. Play the New York Mets -1.5 on the run line as an *8* selection Monday.
