15th Oct - Dodgers vs Mets

It’s Zack Greinke against Jacob DeGrom. It’s Game 5, and it’s a critical moment for two franchises that have spent a lot of money and will ultimately be judged by how they perform in the postseason. A match-up with the impressive Chicago Cubs awaits in the National League Championship Game.

Mets’ ace DeGrom secured a huge Game 1 win over Clayton Kershaw in this series, but New York hasn’t been able to capitalise and a match-up against Greinke looks like an intimidating prospect. Both line-ups have been up and down during the series, but neither will be feeling too excited ahead of this clash.

Greinke has hardly put a foot wrong all season wrong. His ERA did not rise above 2.00 during the regular season and he followed LA’s disappointing Game 1 loss by dominating New York’s hitters in a Game 2 win. He has a calmness about him that makes it feel unlikely that he’d ever put a foot wrong in a big game like this.

Three Reasons for Betting Tips

1. Greinke

Anything can happen in a big game like this, but it’s just impossible to believe that Greinke is about to slip up. He’s been close to perfect and we think he’ll be on fire tonight again.

2. Dodgers play small ball

LA have a veteran line-up and there’s something about this line-up, it’s got the ability to play small ball in the way that previous Dodgers’ teams have not.

3. Good odds

He may be going against DeGrom, but we love getting odds on Greinke in LA at 4/6, it’s a chance that we would advise you can’t afford to miss.
