Pitching Match Up<br />
</h2>
<p>
Los Angeles: Yu Darvish (6-9, 4.01 ERA)<br />
New York: Jacob deGrom (12-4, 3.29 ERA)
</p>
<p>
Yu Darvish will be making his debut for the Dodgers in this game after coming over in a trade from the Texas Rangers. L.A. is hoping tonight’s outing is better than his last one for Texas when he was lit up for 10 earned runs in only three innings in a 22-10 loss to the Miami Marlins. Overall, the Rangers lost seven of Darvish’s last eight starts. Previous to his last outing he had given up seven runs in 21 innings, but the Rangers lost two of those games where he only got seven runs of support. Darvish has faced the Mets three times in his career with three no decisions and he is 0-5 in his last eight starts.
</p>
<p>
Jacob deGrom gets the call for the Mets tonight and in his last start he gave up two earned runs in six innings and struck out 10, but got little support in a 3-2 loss to the Seattle Mariners. The Mets had won his previous eight starts where he only gave up more than two earned runs once. In five career starts against the Dodgers deGrom is 0-2 with an ERA of 2.94. New York has won deGrom’s last five home starts and they have won 13 of his last 19 home starts against a team with a winning record.
