Dodgers vs Mets (07.25 08:10, Citi Field)

Starters: Dodgers Roki Sasaki / Mets Sean Manaea

This one leans heavily toward the Dodgers on paper. They're the best team in baseball at 1st place and a .630 winning percentage, riding a two-game winning streak, while the Mets sit 13th at just .420 and just dropped their last game. The season series backs that up too - the Dodgers have swept all three meetings against the Mets so far this year.

The starting pitching matchup is a bit softer than the standings would suggest. Sasaki carries a 4.98 season ERA and his last-five FIP has actually worsened to 7.00, a concerning trend. Manaea isn't much better - a 4.74 season ERA with a recent FIP of 5.63, also trending the wrong way. Velocity tells a similar story: Sasaki has fluctuated but spiked to 98.8 mph in his last outing, while Manaea has sat in the high-80s to low-90s, hovering around 90 mph most of the way.

Both lineups remain unconfirmed heading into first pitch.

At the plate, the Dodgers have cooled slightly, from a .264 season average to .247 over their last five games, while the Mets have stayed essentially flat at .252 both ways.

The bullpens are close to even - the Mets' relievers have actually posted a slightly better ERA (3.62 over 10 innings) compared to the Dodgers' pen (3.72 over 9 innings).

Given the gap in the standings and the season series sweep, the Dodgers still look like the heavier favorite here, even with both starters trending in the wrong direction lately.
