Date, Time, Pitching Matchup
Los Angeles, 51-38, will meet New York, 42-48, on Friday, July 14 at 7:10 PM Eastern time at Citi Field in Queens, New York.
The Dodgers enter the second half in first place in the National league West, but the season has been anything but easy, as Los Angeles' pitching rotation has been decimated by injuries.
The Dodgers will send left-hander Julio Urias, who won the 2022 National League ERA title, to the mound. Urias is 6-5 with a 4.76 ERA and 63 strikeouts across 64 1/3 innings pitched. The southpaw will look to build on his strong outing against the Pirates before the break, as he picked up the win after pitching six innings of two-run ball with eight strikeouts.
Meanwhile, the Mets, who have underachieved mightily in 2023, are looking to start the second half strong after a first half that has many pundits labeling them as the most disappointing team in MLB.
Sitting in fourth place in the National League East, the Mets will send ace right-hander Justin Verlander to the mound against the Dodgers.
The 40-year-old right-hander is 3-4 with a 3.60 ERA and 57 strikeouts across 70 innings of work.
If both Urias and Verlander are on top of their games, MLB fans could be treated to a Dodgers-Mets pitcher's duel on Friday night.
