The Mets are coming into this game with a 35-17 record overall and they are 16-9 in their road games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 7 game winning streak. They just won their 3-game series against the Washington Nationals 3-0 completing the sweep and they are playing the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Dodgers on Friday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Friday with the series opener still to be played on Thursday. Taijuan Walker is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Chris Bassitt will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 4-2 with a 3.66 ERA this season. His team won 4 of their last 5 games this season with him starting. In his last start, he allowed 1 ER, 0 HRs, and 3 BB with 7 Ks on 2 hits in 6 IP against the Philadelphia Phillies. They scored 28 runs in their last series averaging just over 9 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 5 runs against them averaging just under 2 runs allowed per game.

 

The Dodgers are coming into this game with a 33-17 record overall and they are 15-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this one on a 3 game losing streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates getting swept 3-0 and they are playing the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Mets on Friday. This will be the 2nd game of the series on Friday with the series opener still to be played on Thursday. Tony Gonsolin is the starting pitcher for them on Thursday while Tyler Anderson will be on the mound for them here on Friday. He is 6-0 with a 2.90 ERA this season. His team won 5 of their last 6 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 0 earned runs, 0 homers, and 1 BB with 6 strikeouts on 5 hits in 6 innings played against the Arizona Diamondbacks. They scored 12 runs in their last series averaging 4 runs scored per game in that span and they allowed 19 runs against them averaging just over 6 runs allowed per game.

 

The Dodgers are coming into this game as a slight favorite with the current betting odds. They have not been playing very well recently as they were just swept at home against the Pirates and they were awful in that series. They struggled to score runs in that series and they allowed a lot themselves but they will be looking to bounce back after an embarrassing series like that. They are going up against a Mets team that has been great all season and is coming into this game on a very big winning streak but that is bound to end soon with all of the injuries to their pitching staff and considering what just happened to the Dodgers in their last series, this is the perfect spot for them to bounce back with Andersen on the mound here. The best bet here is on the Dodgers to win this game.
