New York Mets vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 04/14/26

The Mets have lost 6 straight to drop to 7-10 after Monday’s 4-0 loss to the Dodgers, and it won’t get any easier for them on Tuesday with Los Angeles sending Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound. Yamamoto has been mortal through his first 3 starts, but he’s still dealing, earning a quality start in all 3 outings. His starts against Toronto and Arizona show his upside – 6 innings each with 3 combined earned runs and 12 strikeouts – as he comes into this game with a 2.50 ERA and a 0.89 WHIP. 

The Mets will counter with Nolan McLean, a 24-year old right-handed pitcher that has been pretty good thus far, holding a 2.70 ERA and 0.84 WHIP. Through 16.2 innings this season, he has allowed 5 runs and 6 walks among 20 strikeouts and just 8 hits. That said, his games came against Arizona, San Francisco and Pittsburgh. This LA lineup is obviously a different beast. 

I’m not going to try to catch a falling knife with New York on this losing streak, especially against Yamamoto and the Dodgers. Only 3 of New York’s 10 losses were by 1 run, while just 3 of LA’s 12 wins were by exactly 1 run. Why would you lay -200 on the ML if these teams aren’t playing close games? If you like the Dodgers, take the run line.
