Rickenbach MLB *8* New York Mets Run Line +1.5 -120 vs LA Dodgers @ 8:05 ET - Kershaw is pitching on short rest here and the ability get the Mets at home and +1.5 runs and basically in a pick'em price range all adds up to be a phenomenal value in this spot. I don't expect Kershaw to be at his best in this spot. The Dodgers only went 7-9 this season in his road starts and the Mets already beat him in LA in game one of this series. That certainly helps their confidence level here as they look to close out this series at home and avoid the trip west for a game five. I like the Mets' chances for that with Steven Matz at home. The Mets went 2-0 in his home starts and overall 5-1 in all 6 of his starts this season. Matz produced an overall 2.27 ERA and this included a phenomenal 1.98 ERA in his home outings. The lefty, back on July 5th, shut down the Dodgers in LA and I look for another strong performance from him here against Los Angeles. The Mets are 50-32 at home this season and, keep in mind, even a 1 run loss here would still cash our ticket. As for the Dodgers, they destroyed bettors as a road favorite this season as they went 16-25 when on the road and favored in the 125 to 175 range (as they are tonight). Play the New York Mets on the run line +1.5 runs as an *8* selection Tuesday.
