The New York Mets have been cruising along this season with the second best record in the National League while rarely being upset. The Mets are 12-4 SU in their past 16 games as favorites and will be in that same spot when they continue their series with the Los Angeles Dodgers Tuesday.
One of the reasons the Mets will be favored at Dodgers Stadium is Jacob deGrom. However, despite his clear talent – the 27-year old has a 1.99 ERA this season – he has never recorded a win against the Dodgers. In three career starts against the Dodgers deGrom is 0-2 with a 3.66 ERA, which includes one appearance at Dodgers Stadium.
Alex Wood struggled with home runs in his last outing, an anomaly for the groundball pitcher. The Dodgers’ lefty surrendered three home runs in his last start, which is something he had never done before in his career.
