This game here will be quite the challenge for the Mets. The Mets are playing on the road, strike one, but also playing a really good Dodgers team at home, strike two. To make it even worse the Dodgers have a potent offense that has been able to take advantage of good pitchers on the year and while Stroman will do good in the game, it will be difficult for Stroman to contain the Dodgers offense. Final Score, Los Angeles Dodgers win 4-2.
