It seems like every game thread I write lately is the rubber game of a 3-game series. That is the case between the Dodgers and Mets tonight.
Walker Buehler is going up against Zack Wheeler. The Dodgers handled Noah Syndergaard on Friday and Hyun-Jin Ryu went toe-to-toe with Jacob deGrom last night before the bullpen gave it up.
Still no Justin Turner, who’s still nursing a “mild” sprained ankle. But, he’s expected to be back in the starting lineup on Tuesday when the Dodgers return home to face Blake Snell and the Rays.
