Thursday marks the seventh time in 14 days that the Dodgers and Mets will play each other. This one is the first day game of the bunch, finishing off the season series at Dodger Stadium.
The Mets won two of three games in both New York and Los Angeles, thanks in large part to their pitching staff having their way with the Dodgers.
The Dodgers have scored only 20 runs in six games, and four of those tallies came in extra innings. They’ve hit just .205/.290/.314 against New York pitchers.
Mets starters have a 2.76 ERA, 1.041 WHIP, 30 strikeouts, and 13 walks in 32⅔ innings against the Dodgers. Five of the six starters have lasted at least five innings, and the only one that didn’t was interrupted by a 98-minute rain delay on May 23 at Citi Field . Griffin Canning was the starter tha
