Tonight's opposing pitcher.
Clayton Kershaw (0-0, 11.25) vs. Griffin Canning (5-1, 2.47).
The Mets, the highest-payroll team (active 26-man roster) in MLB, have spent a lot of money to put their formidable offensive lineup on the field. $765M-man Juan Soto is only batting .243 but has a .804 OPS (131 OPS+), and he's not even the second-best OPS+ player on his team: Francisco Lindor has a 136 OPS+. And then there's Pete Alonso, who is having a resurgent year with a league-leading 16 doubles, 9 HR, batting .292 with a .931 OPS (165 OPS+).
Honestly, what is a scrappy, small-market team like the Dodgers supposed to do?
