This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. David Peterson is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Trevor Williams will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 1-3 with a 3.58 ERA this season.

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 35-17 record overall and they are 17-8 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are coming into this game on a 2 game winning streak. They just lost their 3-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates getting swept 3-0 and they are playing the series finale of a 4-game series with the Mets on Sunday. This will be the 4th game of the series on Sunday with the 3rd game still to be played on Saturday. Walker Buehler is the starting pitcher for them on Saturday while Julio Urías will be on the mound for them here on Sunday. He is 3-5 with a 2.89 ERA this season. His team lost 4 of their last 5 games this season with him as a starter. In his last start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 2 homers, and 1 BB with 8 strikeouts on 8 hits in 6 innings played against the Pittsburgh Pirates. 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 Mets are coming into this game as a big underdog with the current betting odds. They have been playing very well this season and they have the best record in the NL other than the Dodgers who they are playing here. The Dodgers won the first two games of this series after getting swept by the Pirates and those were much needed wins for them. The Mets have been very banged up with their pitching staff as well and they have not really been at their best recently but are still winning a lot of their games. Urias is starting for the Dodgers here and he is coming off of a great season for them last year but this season has not been the same for him and he has already been credited with 5 losses and only 3 wins. He has not been pitching well all season and the Mets can hit the ball well, they will not want to be swept in this series either or lose it so they will be hungry in this game. The best bet here is on the Mets to win this game and bounce back.
