What ChatGPT says about this game:

For the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Mets MLB playoff game on October 18, 2024, the Dodgers are favored with a moneyline of -160, while the Mets are underdogs at +135. The Dodgers had a strong regular season (104-67), but the Mets have momentum after a solid playoff push, winning their Wild Card and divisional series.

Betting Strategy:

1. Moneyline: Given the Dodgers’ home advantage and solid pitching from Jack Flaherty, betting on the Dodgers to win straight-up is a safer option, though the payout might be lower.

2. Run Line: The Mets are +1.5 (-160), meaning they can lose by 1 run, and the bet would still win. If you think it’ll be a close game, this could be a valuable bet, especially given their recent resurgence.

3. Over/Under (8 Runs): Both teams have strong offenses, but their pitching has been excellent in the postseason. Betting the under might be a smart move if you expect a low-scoring, tight game.

Score Prediction:

Dodgers 4, Mets 2. Expect a close game with Los Angeles pulling ahead late, relying on their bullpen and a few key offensive plays.
