One of your first mistakes was you left the game alone based upon a an “elite-caliber” pitcher coming off the disabled list. I can understand the hesitation, however here is where the “Situational” play came in. Kershaw wanted to pitch against DeGrom, he knew he was ready and wanted to show the young pup I’m still better.
2nd mistake is you past on the game being a Mets fan. Being a fan could cause you to piss money away going for or going against, if that comes in play in your decision, rather than the stats, that’s gonna cost you money which it would’ve today because I think you knew Dodgers probably were the better team regardless but you let your love for your team to interfere with making money.
When you review the board try to throw out games look at match ups and put a line in your mind that seems right BEFORE checking actual lines. You have to simply throw out half the board. Once you narrow down possible selections, start LOOKING, yes LOOKING for reasons to throw it out.
Also line ups and history against a certain pitcher is always key.
Anyways there is a few suggestions.
