The Dodgers are 13-3 (.813) versus the Mets since July 1, 2012, the highest win percentage by any team versus any opponent over that span (minimum 15 games).

The Dodgers beat the Diamondbacks, 4-3, on Wednesday, outscoring Arizona 4-0 in the first three innings of the game. Los Angeles has outscored its opponents by 30 runs (113-83) in the first three innings this season, the second-best differential in MLB (Toronto is +32). The 83 runs the Dodgers have allowed in the first three innings are the fewest allowed by any team this season.

The Mets were swept by the Cubs earlier this week, scoring just one run over the three games. Prior to that series versus the Cubs, the last time the Mets scored one or fewer runs over a three-game span was when they scored one run over a three-game span from July 4-7, 2009 (first two games at Philadelphia and third game versus the Dodgers).

Kike Hernandez had three hits on Wednesday, falling a home run shy of the cycle in the process. In his previous 28 at-bats, Hernandez totaled just four hits (.143 batting average over that span).

Rookie Noah Syndergaard has struggled versus NL West teams, going 0-2 with a 9.90 ERA and .426 opponent batting average against NL West opponents compared to a 3-2 record with a 2.11 ERA and .215 opponent batting average versus all other teams.

Clayton Kershaw took the loss in his last start (June 27 at Miami), his third straight start with a loss (the longest streak of his career). Kershaw allowed three runs in the loss and has now allowed 44 runs in 16 starts and 107 innings pitched this season after allowing just 42 runs in 27 starts and 198.1 innings pitched in 2014.

HP - Marquez, 1B - Everitt, 2B - Bellino, 3B - Blakney

Sunday's pitching matchup between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers might not measure up to the name recognition of the first two games, but Steven Matz and Mike Bolsinger aren't exactly weighing down their respective staffs.
Two of the lesser-known arms on two of the better pitching clubs in the majors square off with the three-game series on the line.

Mets-Dodgers Preview

LOS ANGELES (AP)  Steven Matz is having the time of his young baseball life, winning his first two career starts, including silencing the Los Angeles Dodgers' powerful lineup.
Matz scattered two hits over six scoreless innings, Wilmer Flores went 4 for 5, and the New York Mets won 8-0 Sunday to take two out of three from the NL West leaders.
