The New York Mets are officially on the ropes after another dominant performance from the Los Angeles Dodgers in their 10-2 Game 4 win on Thursday night. With the Dodgers holding a 3-1 series lead, on the cusp of advancing to their fourth World Series in the last eight seasons, the Mets could be down to their final 27 outs if they can’t summon the kind of offensive showing that won them Game 2 7-3. On the series, Los Angeles has outscored New York 30-9.
The Dodgers send Jack Flaherty to the mound, and the righty will look to continue his postseason success (1-1, 2.92 ERA, 8 SO, 12.1 IP) in a pivotal Game 5. Meanwhile, the Mets will pin their hopes on lefty David Peterson, who’s been solid for New York in short outings this October (1-0, 2.08 ERA, 5 SO, 8.2 IP).
