The Mets go for the four game sweep this afternoon against the Dodgers! This series has proved to be critical for the Mets as they have inched closer to the Nationals and by virtue of playing the Dodgers, have dragged LA into a three way tie for 2 Wild Card Spots (Mets, Pirates). Yesterday, Santana went out and dazzled the Dodgers and Dillon Gee looks to continue that stretch as he takes on Clayton Kershaw.
Dillon Gee is 5-6 on the year with a 4.42 ERA over 15 starts and 95.2 innings of work. He made 5 starts in the month of June with a 1-3 record and a 3.90 ERA. His two starts against the Dodgers last year were rough as he totaled 12 innings of work, 8 runs, 7 earned. The Dodgers have the following numbers against Gee:
Loney 1-5
Uribe 1-5, 2B
Gwynn 2-3
Ethier 0-4
Clayton Kershaw on the season is 5-4 with a 2.74 ERA over 108.1 innings of work and 103 K’s. He went 1-1 over 5 starts in June with a 3.44 ERA. Last season Clayton was brilliant against the Mets, as he allowed only one earned run over 14.1 innings of work. The Mets have the following numbers against Kershaw:
Torres 2-19
Hairston 7-17, 2B
Wright 1-9, 2B
Turner 1-7
Murphy 1-3
Let’s Go Mets!
