The National League Division Series really are division series with two NL East teams, the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, and two NL West teams, the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers, squaring off. The home team and division winner got one of Saturday’s Game 1s with the Dodgers getting ahead of the Padres. Meanwhile, the Mets had another miraculous comeback.
The Mets have left their scoring late in the playoffs the last two games. First, it was a four-run ninth inning in an elimination game in Milwaukee to secure a 4-2 win. On Saturday, it was a five-run eighth and another run in the ninth in a 6-2 win in Philadelphia. Can the Mets make it three comebacks in a row? The Phillies are favored to win Game 2 with Cristopher Sanchez on the mound.
The scoring was all early in Game 1 in LA. The Dodgers came back twice from early deficits, but held the Padres scoreless for the last six innings. With Yu Darvish against Jack Flaherty, it would be a surprise to see both pitchers get rocked like they were on Saturday, but Sunday’s Game 2 does have the highest run total odds of any of the four Game 2s.
Here’s a look at the odds for both of Sunday’s NLDS Game 2s plus projections from The Bat X.

MLB Playoff projections from THE BAT X
In the tables below, you’ll see details for each MLB matchup, then a lot of numbers (which are updated all day):
- “Moneyline” shows each team’s odds on BetMGM.
- “Implied Win%” is the chance a team has to win based on those BetMGM odds.
- “THE BAT X win%” is the chance a team has to win based on EV Analytics’ projections.
- “Cash Line” is how THE BAT X would price each team’s odds.
- “Value” is the percentage difference between the odds chances and our projections.
The higher the value percentage, the better — which you can easily see from the color coding from red (bad pick) through to green (good pick).
Note: On mobile, you may have to scroll to see the color-coded “Value” column on the far right of the first set of tables.
Another note: If you’re seeing old data or the tables aren’t showing up, you may need to “hard refresh” this page, or you may have an ad blocker or other software blocking the tables from loading.
