The Los Angeles Dodgers have won six straight games and 12 of their last 13, largely due to an offense that has averaged 7.08 runs per game in that 13-game span. The Dodgers’ have outscored the New York Mets, 30-8, through the first three games of their series.
A win Thursday night would give the Dodgers a seventh series sweep this season, their first four-game sweep of the Mets since June 1965, and their first overall sweep against the Mets since August 2013.
Hyun-Jin Ryu gets the nod one night than was initially expected, as Dodgers manager Dave Roberts elected to push Alex Wood back so he could start against the division rival Colorado Rockies on Friday.
