New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers begin highly anticipated series in Queens New York Mets v Los Angeles Dodgers Two of baseball's best teams face off tonight in the opening of a three-game series in Queens, New York. The matchup may very well be a preview of a potential NLCS series. The Dodgers enter play on an absolute tear. Since August 1st, the Dodgers have gone 21-5 and have separated themselves for the league's best record at 89-38. The Dodgers rank first in the MLB in both runs per game and earned-run average. The Mets, on the other hand, are battling it out against the Atlanta Braves in a tight division race. Entering tonight, the Mets have a 3 game lead over the Braves. Winning the NL East will be critical as it will assure the team a first-round bye in the playoffs. The two teams split a four-game series earlier this season at Dodger Stadium and the winner of the series will therefore have an overall head-to-head advantage. Here's a look at the starting lineup for both teams prior to tonight's first pitch. Dodgers' LineupOPSMets LineupOPS1. Mookie Betts, RF.9101. Brandon Nimmo, CF.7702. Trea Turner, SS.8432.
