New York is in an unfortunate slump, having lost 12 of its last 15.See the best picks for Wednesday’s game below.

The Los Angeles Dodgers look to complete the series sweep of the New York Mets Wednesday after winning both sides of a doubleheader on Tuesday.

The Mets are in rough shape right now, to put it lightly. They’ve lost 12 of their last 15 games and 15 of their last 20 after starting the season 12-8.

Can the Mets avoid the sweep? See the latest odds, the best player prop picks and a prediction for Wednesday’s matchup.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Mets Prediction

New York is one of the few teams who got the best of Los Angeles earlier in the season, winning their initial series 2-1 to earn that aforementioned 12-8 record. The Mets then lost their following series against the Giants, Cardinals and Rays while splitting their 4-game series with the Cubs.

And while the Dodgers are currently one of the best batting teams in baseball, the Mets have shifted to being one of the worst. They’re hitting just .231 on the season compared to LA’s mark of .254 and have scored 224 runs this season compared to the Dodgers’ 278.

David Peterson will be on the bump for New Yok in his return from the 60-day IL, making his first appearance this season. New York will start James Paxton, who owns a perfect 5-0 record so far this year. The Dodgers can expect 6 or so innings out of Paxton, who has allowed as many walks as he has strikeouts across his 49 innings of work.

The Mets, even with their woes at the plate as of late, should be able to get to Paxton plenty. Driving in runs may be another story. On top of that, their bullpen has issues of its own as of late, leaving me hesitant to pick New York outright in what should be a close matchup.

LAD vs. NYM Picks: Mets +1.5, U 8.5 (-120)

The over/under total has been set at 8.5 for this matchup, with the over slightly favored at -120. Neither pitcher has unhittable stuff right now and Paxton has struggled with control, but trends are well on the side of the under for this one. New York is 1-9 against the over as a home underdog this season while Los Angeles is 9-16 as an away favorite and 9-17 as the away team in general.

Player Props to Target (Dodgers vs. Mets, May 29)

Paxton is far from a strikeout pitcher, as has been already stated. He’s thrown more than 4 strikeouts in a single game just once this season, all the way back on April 1.

Betts has recorded 4 hits in the past 2 games against New York and sits at +180 on DraftKings to do the same once again in Game 3. With New York’s struggles from the mound, the odds seem a little low here.

Freeman is absolutely on home run watch Wednesday night in NYC. Peterson hasn’t faced major league competition since last season and already belted one just a few days ago against Cincinnati. On top of that, Freeman has totaled at least a pair of bases in each of his last 4 games.
