Why you should support the Dodgers

Los Angeles’ bats were feisty in this series, with the Dodgers combining to score 36 runs over the course of the first five games, with 27 of those runs coming in their three wins. Mookie Betts was red hot as he went 8-of-22 with two home runs, three doubles and eight RBIs during the NLCS.

Max Muncy, Shohei Ohtani and Andy Pages also each hit two home runs in the Series and the Dodgers have hit nine home runs as a team while the Mets have just four. In two previous attempts to field a bullpen game, the Dodgers shut out the Padres and won Game 4 of the NLDS, then lost 7-3 to the Mets in Game 2 of the NLCS. See which team you should choose here.

Why you should support the Mets

Manaea returns to action after allowing two earned runs over five innings to record the win over the Dodgers in Game 2. He is now 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA and has 17 strikeouts over 17 innings during the 2024 MLB Playoffs. He struck out Ohtani twice and triggered a weak pop-up in that win. Ohtani is now 2-for-13 with six strikeouts against Manaea.

Meanwhile, the Mets’ bats finally came to life in Game 5 after being shut out twice in the first four games of the series and scoring two runs just once. Five players recorded multi-hit games with at least one RBI in Friday’s 12-6 win, with Starling Marte and Pete Alonso each driving in three runners. See which team you should choose here.
