The series opener between the Mets and Dodgers was originally slated for Monday, but was postponed due to the forecast of heavy rain. Despite leading the NL West, the Dodgers (33-22) have lost five straight games — their longest skid since 2019 — and are hoping to right the ship on the road in New York. The Mets (22-30) have lost 10 of their past 13 games, and represent an ideal target for an LA team looking to snap the skid.
