The set-up: With Saturday's 7-4 win at Citi Field over the Mets, the Los Angeles Dodgers got their 43rd win in their past 50 games, giving them the best 50-game run by a big league team since the 1912 New York Giants compiled the same mark. The Dodgers are 43-7 since June 7 and the 1912 Giants had the same record from May 14 to July 3 that season. The Dodgers hit five HRs in rallying past the Mets to extend their incredible surge. Los Angeles has won all but one of its past 13 games, upping the top record in MLB to an astounding 78-32. That puts the Dodgers at 46 games above .500 for the first time since they were 98-51 back on Sept. 15, 1962. Note that the 1962 team didn't even win the pennant after dropping a best-of-three playoff to rival San Francisco. This year's Dodgers are looking to end a World Series drought that dates to the franchise's last championship in 1988. As for the 2017 Mets, not so much! They are now 49-59 on the season (15 games back of the Nats in the NL East) and have now been outscored 49-15 by the Dodgers in six games in 2017 (all LA wins). The Dodgers have hit 23 HRs in those six games, extending to eight, their winning streak over the Mets dating back to last season.
The pitching matchup: Hyun-Jin Ryu (3-6 & 3.83 ERA) starts for Los Angeles and Steven Matz (2-4 & 5.50 ERA) takes the mound for the Mets. Ryu needed only 85 pitches to toss seven scoreless innings last time out against San Francisco, as the Dodgers wold go on to win 3-2 in 11 innings. That start was typical for Ryu as of late, as the lefty hasn't recorded a decision in his last four starts, despite recording a 2.38 ERA in that span. It's also worth noting that he owns a 2.16 ERA in four career starts vs. the Mets (he's 2-0 and the Dodgers 4-0!). In contrast, Matz has lost three straight decisions and is 0-2 with a 12.21 ERA in four starts since the All-Star break (Mets are 1-3).
The pick: I love the way Ryu has pitched lately and note that Matz is 2-0 with a 2.50 ERA in three regular-season outings against Los Angeles. Make the Under a 10* play.
