Mets vs. Dodgers Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 09/02/2018
Following a series in which they played three consecutive one-run games, the Los Angeles Dodgers could probably stand to go a few days with a little less drama than they experienced over the weekend. If recent history holds, the Dodgers may get just that beginning Monday when they attempt to run their winning streak over the New York Mets to 13 games in the opener of a three-game set in Los Angeles.
Matt Kemp's go-ahead, three-run blast in the eighth inning proved to be the difference in Saturday's 3-2 victory over Arizona, and the three-time All-Star came through in the clutch again for the second straight game Sunday when he delivered a two-run, walk-off double in the ninth for another 3-2 triumph. As a result, the Dodgers (75-62) own a one-half game in the National League West after trailing the Diamondbacks by as many as 4 1/2 games as recently as Aug. 22. Los Angeles hasn't had many close calls versus the Mets lately, as its 8-7 extra-inning victory in New York on June 24 was the first time in 10 meetings the Dodgers didn't win by at least three runs. The Mets enter the final leg of their nine-game road trip with a bit of momentum, however, as Sunday's 4-1 triumph in San Francisco was their third win in four contests overall.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (8-8, 1.68 ERA) vs. Dodgers LH Alex Wood (8-6, 3.42)
Despite posting a double-digit strikeout total for the fourth time in his last five outings Tuesday, deGrom settled for a no-decision against the Chicago Cubs after yielding one run and fanning 10 across eight innings. The Cy Young Award candidate has allowed fewer than three runs in 24 straight turns and made 19 consecutive quality starts, tying him with Tom Seaver for the club record. The 30-year-old deGrom permitted three runs over six frames in a loss to the Dodgers on June 23.
Wood enjoyed his best start of the season Wednesday in a win against Texas, yielding only four singles and two walks while striking out five across seven scoreless innings. The North Carolina native has won seven of his last eight decisions since losing five of his first six, posting a 2.43 ERA in those 12 most recent outings. Wilmer Flores (5-for-16, home run) is one of the few Mets to experience much success against Wood, who beat New York with six innings of two-run ball on June 22.
WALK-OFFS
1. The Dodgers have outscored the Mets 91-30 during their winning streak.
2. New York pitchers have struck out at least 10 batters in a club-record seven straight games.
3. Despite going 0-for-3 on Sunday, Los Angeles 3B Justin Turner is batting .398 with 12 doubles, six home runs, 20 RBIs and 23 runs scored since coming off the disabled list Aug. 2.
PREDICTION: Dodgers 3, Mets 2

Baltimore Orioles vs. Seattle Mariners Preview and Predictions 09-03-2018 in MLB

Orioles vs. Mariners Preview and Predictions
by Gracenote on 09/02/2018
The Seattle Mariners have 25 games to make up a big deficit in the American League wild-card race, a stretch that begins with Monday's opener of a three-game series with the visiting Baltimore Orioles. The Mariners capped a 4-5 road trip with an 8-2 loss to Oakland on Sunday to sink 5 1/2 games back in the chase for the second wild-card.
"Disappointing way to finish the series," Seattle manager Scott Servais told reporters Sunday. "Big win last night, obviously big sway game today. Where we're at in the standings - if you could pull this one out - but we didn't get enough going offensively to make that happen." Fifteen of Seattle's final 25 games are at home and 12 of the 25 are against teams currently in last place, including the Orioles, whom the Mariners swept four straight on the road in June. Baltimore was outscored 23-7 in losing all three at Kansas City to begin its road trip. It turns to rookie Josh Rogers in Monday's series opener opposite Erasmo Ramirez, who is trying to bounce back from a dismal outing in his last time out.
TV: 9:10 p.m. ET, MASN (Baltimore), ROOT Sports Northwest (Seattle)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Orioles LH Josh Rogers (1-0, 5.40 ERA) vs. Mariners RH Erasmo Ramirez (1-3, 6.28)
Rogers won his first career outing Tuesday at home against Toronto. He gave up three runs and seven hits while walking one and striking out two in the 12-5 triumph. The 24-year-old Louisville product, who was acquired in the Zach Britton trade with the New York Yankees near the trade deadline, was 2-1 with a 2.08 ERA in five starts at Triple-A Norfolk before his promotion.
Ramirez was rocked for seven runs and nine hits in three innings of a loss at San Diego on Wednesday. He was 1-0 with a 1.13 ERA over his previous three starts. The Nicaraguan owns a 2.98 ERA in 17 career games (seven starts) against the Orioles.
WALK-OFFS
1. Mariners RF Mitch Haniger owns a 14-game hitting streak.
2. Orioles 2B Jonathan Villar has five home runs in 29 games with Baltimore after recording six in 87 games with the Milwaukee Brewers to start the year.
3. Seattle DH Nelson Cruz needs two RBIs to become the 12th active player with 1,000.
PREDICTION: Mariners 6, Orioles 4
