The Los Angeles Dodgers’ bats finally woke up last night, smacking 13 hits in a 11-4 shellacking of the New York Mets at Chavez Ravine. Tonight they will wrap up the 3-game set and will send lefty Hyun-jin Ryu to the hill. When this guy is healthy, and he is, he is as good as anybody. Ryu is 4-1, with a 2.24 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and has been a Met killer. In his career against New York, he is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.69 and a 0.94 WHIP. The Mets will send Zack Wheeler to the bump. Wheeler is 9-7, with a 3.37 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP. His numbers might seem average but he has been delivering, winning 7 of his last 8 turns but Wheeler has struggled in his career against the Dodgers, going 0-2 with a bloated ERA of 11.00. Los Angeles has won 16 of the last 21 meetings and 6 of the last 7 at Dodger Stadium.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
