Los Angeles at New York

When you look at the talent levels on these teams, it is clear, on paper at least, that the LA Dodgers should be a lot better than they have shown. The Mets on the other hand, have played to or above expectations. When the dust has settled, these teams are separated by just three games in the loss column. Zack Greinke has been amazing with 21 consecutive starts of not allowing more than 2 runs, and doing so again tonight will be a first in over 100 years. That doesn't guarantee anything as we saw Tanaka lose to the Cubs this week after 42 consecutive starts without suffering a defeat. Jon Niese has pitched well as his ERA stands at 2.54 on the season, and has shown the capacity to pitch with Greinke here. He has also been a stopper as the Mets are 6-1 in his last seven starts when following a loss. Back the Mets.
