The set-up: The Dodgers had the night off last night, while the Mets are off a 6-4 loss in Colorado. I think the well rested visiting side could be a bigger favorite as I look for Alex Wood to out duel New York starter Zach Wheeler on the mound this evening.

The pitchers: Wood is so far 2-5 with a 4.22 ERA. Wood comes in off a decent outing against San Francisco on Saturday, giving up one earned run off four hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.2 innings. Wood would throw 58 of is 85 pitches for strikes and I think the southpaw will carry that momentum over here. Note that he owns a 3.72 ERA in all "night" games.

Wheeler is so far 2-5 with a 4.82 ERA. Wheeler most recently allowed two earned runs off three hits and two walks while striking out eight over six innings against the Diamondbacks on Sunday. Previous to that though Wheeler had been shelled for six earned runs.

The pick: Note as well that the home field advantage has been anything but for Wheeler this season, as he comes in with a poor 0-4, 5.14 ERA record in New York. He's also just 1-4 with a 5.53 ERA in all "night" games. LA is 17-15 on the road, while the Mets are a terrible 13-21 (-12.5 units) at home. I think Wood offers great value in this matchup. Play on LA.
