The New York Mets (11-8) look to continue their positive momentum in game two against the Los Angeles Dodgers (12-10) on Saturday, April 20, at 4:05 PM ET at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, California. The Dodgers are moneyline favorites to get back on track at -185.

 

The Mets have won their last five games as they approach game two. Their most recent success was a 9-4 performance over the Dodgers in game one, marking their second consecutive game of scoring nine runs.

Jose Butto will start this one on the mound. He has excellent stats so far in 12.0 innings pitched. He currently has an ERA of 0.75 and a WHIP of 0.75. It will be difficult to keep those low, but he has a great opportunity to do so against a tough team.

Harrison Bader does a great job stimulating this offense, with a batting average of .333 to lead them. He also contributes with an on-base percentage of .367 and a .421 slugging percentage, making him a threat to the Dodgers.

The Mets are putting up a batting average of .252 while keeping their opponents down to 2.19. Their ERA as a team comes in at 3.09, while the Dodgers have a 4.27. This is a good separation between the two averages and bodes well for their chances of success.

 

The Dodgers have lost four out of their latest five matchups. They are currently on a two-game losing skid after dropping game one. The loss before game one was a 2-0 in game three against the Washington Nationals.

Gavin Stone (1-1) will get the start for game two but has some work to do if they want a chance at winning. He has put up an ERA of 6.14 and a WHIP of 1.57, which shows he could have a rough day on the mound if the Mets get hot.

They are led at the plate by Will Smith, who has a batting average of .356. He also puts up other key offensive numbers, such as an on-base percentage of .395 and a slugging percentage of .466.

The Dodgers are averaging .261 while allowing .225 at the plate. This is a good separation, but they will need strong pitching to make a difference.
