Dodger Time!

With yesterday's win, that puts us at 2-0-1 for the week.

The Dodgers start lefty Randy Wolf. Yes I know the Mets hit lefties, but the fact is, they aren't hitting anyone well right now, with a .234 batting average over the past week of games. Wolf is 3-3 with a 3.49 ERA and a .235 batting average against. On the road his ERA is 2.91 and his batting average against is .224. Against the Mets this year his ERA is 2.35 and his batting average against is .214. Other than Castillo, no Mets (who are healthy at least) have had any career success against him. In fact, for his career he is 11-5 against the Mets with a 3.30 ERA. Even better, since 2006, he is 5-0 against the Mets.

Meanwhile the Mets start ancient Livan Hernandez. He is hitting the part of the season where he starts to fall apart. On the season his ERA is 4.56 and his batting average against is .299. For his career against the Dodgers he is 9-13 with a 4.30 ERA . In his last 17 innings pitched, he has allowed 21 hits and 12 walks, for an ERA of 6.35 . The Dodgers bat an NL-best .267 against righties and an NL-best .275 on the road. Over the past 7 days, they are batting an awesome .301. Here's the best part. Check out these career batting averages against Hernandez (each with 8 or more career at bats against him): Manny .625; Blake .400; Loney .364; Ethier .375; Loretta .333; Ausmus .323; Furcal .333; and Pierre .281.

The Dodgers open up a can of whoop-ass on the Mets tonight.

Thursday's play is the Los Angeles Dodgers (-155).
