In a rematch of the 2024 National League Championship Series, the Mets welcome in the Dodgers for a three-game set beginning on “Friday Night Baseball.”
Los Angeles bested New York in a six-game set last fall, on its way to winning the franchise’s second World Series title in a five-year span. Tommy Edman captured NLCS MVP honors after hitting .407 in the series.
The Dodgers head to Queens still holding down the fort in the NL West, buoyed, of course, by the likes of Shohei Ohtani (17 home runs) and Freddie Freeman (.371 batting average). On Friday, they’ll hand the ball to future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw, who is set to make his second start of the season after beginning the year on the injured list.
The Mets are looking up to the Phillies in the NL East, as New York looks to find its footing amid its first sustained rut of the 2025 season. There’s plenty of talent in the lineup, with a vaunted group of Francisco Lindor, Juan Soto, and Pete Alonso comprising one of the best trios in the game.
Griffin Canning (5-1 with a 2.47 ERA) draws the starting nod on Friday amid a revelatory start to this year.
