When the Dodgers faced the Mets in June, it was a series between two first-place teams, but it wasn’t a battle between two juggernauts. This time around, it’s the teams with the two best records in baseball going head-to-head in a clash of titans.
The Dodgers open up a three-game series in New York this evening, looking to solidify their hold on the best record in baseball. The Dodgers currently have an eight-game lead on the Mets for best record, so a series win could turn that to a nearly insurmountable lead.
Andrew Heaney will start the series opener for the Dodgers, looking to build on a very good start against the Brewers in L.
