The New York Mets will play the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday night in Game 2 of their National League Division Series (NLDS). This big MLB Playoffs game could prove huge in determining who progresses, and the Dodgers can ill afford a second loss after their blow out in Game 1. Today's game has a start time of 9.00 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the TBS network. The game can also be watched online through MLB.tv live stream via the link below.
The Mets managed to spoil the postseason party at Dodger Stadium in Game 1, claiming a 3-1 win against their hosts. Their victory was built on the foundation of seven shut out innings from pitcher Jacob deGrom, and supported by key hits from David Wright and Daniel Murphy.
Clayton Kershaw vs deGrom always appeared like a mouthwatering match up, and so it proved, as we saw some excellent pitching in Game 1. However, it was a battle that ultimately Kershaw lost, and that result allows the Mets to grab back home field advantage in the series.
Mets manager Terry Collins has said, "This is a good start for a team that hasn't been in the postseason for a long time. We needed a confidence boost and Jake gave it to us."
Getting a win in Game 1 is a massive boost for the Mets, especially when you consider that in 34 of 40 contests, the winner of Game 1 in the NLDS has gone on to claim the series and progress.
Tonight for Game 2 a pitching contest between Noah Syndergaard and Zack Greinke will take place, and the Dodgers will be hoping they can do better today.
On Game 1's loss Kershaw said, "I got out-pitched, basically that's the moral of the story. Jacob pitched an amazing game. We battled him, got his pitch count up there, but he out-pitched me, plain and simple."
