New York Mets

The New York Mets staged an impressive comeback in Friday's game five to force a game six against the Dodgers. Pete Alonso's early three-run home run set the tone for the Mets' wire-to-wire lead, ultimately leading to a 10-2 victory. Ryne Stanek earned the win in relief, with Alonso and Jesse Winker contributing significantly to the offense. Heading into game six, pitcher Sean Manaea will make his fourth postseason start, coming off a strong performance against the Dodgers in game two. With a power ranking of 10, the Mets are ranked 7th in offense, 17th in defense, and have a 96-78 record for the season.

Los Angeles Dodgers Analysis

The Los Angeles Dodgers faced a tough loss in game five but are now returning home for games six and seven with two chances to advance to the World Series. Oddsmakers are confident in the Dodgers' success, pricing them at -550 to advance and +110 to win the World Series, with only the Yankees having a shorter price. The New York Mets have odds of +400 to win the NLCS and +950 to win the World Series. In game five, Jack Flaherty struggled on the mound, allowing eight earned runs in just 3.0 innings, leading to a 12-6 loss for the Dodgers. Offensively, the team scored six runs on nine hits, with standout performances from Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani, and Andy Pages. The Dodgers have a power ranking of 1 and are ranked #2 for offense, averaging 5.24 runs per game, and #13 for defense, giving up an average of 4.19 runs per game. New York has won two out of the last three matchups against Los Angeles. Los Angeles' starting pitcher for the upcoming games is still to be determined.

Dodgers Poised for Victory in Game 6 Against Mets

The Mets have shown improvement in this series, but the Dodgers are poised to finish strong once they return home on Sunday night. Los Angeles has demonstrated their dominance at home with a 52-29 record during the regular season and a 3-2 record in the postseason. The Dodgers hold a significant advantage in their bullpen, which has maintained a solid 2.94 ERA and 1.18 WHIP throughout the playoffs. On the other hand, New York's bullpen has struggled with a 5.33 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, and has allowed the most home runs in the playoffs. With Los Angeles excelling in home runs both in the regular season and playoffs, it is likely they will secure victory in the upcoming game. My prediction is that the Dodgers will close out the series on Sunday night.
