Houser has gone at least five innings in all three starts and unless he is shelled should be given a chance to go five again and the possibility of earning the victory as New York tries for a shocking sweep.

LA ace Tyler Glasnow takes the mound against Adrian Houser. After losing the first two games of the series (and now three series' in a row), I'm expecting a big effort from the Dodgers to avoid the sweep and end this home stand on a high note. New York already won the series and doesn't get an off day tomorrow (LA does), so I could see the Mets be frugal with their top bullpen arms, while the Dodgers have their top-2 relievers available. Will Smith also sat yesterday so he should be back in the lineup. Adrian Houser has an xERA over five and has walked 10 batters in 15 innings, with a 43% hard hit rate.

They are deviating from the script at Chavez Ravine, as the Dodgers are going to complete a losing homestand and at risk of getting swept out by the Mets. New York has done a bit of that lately while winning 12 of 15 (and six straight) since a slow 0-5 break from the gate. Ex-Brewer Adrian Houser has been serviceable on the mound, such as the solid 5 1/3 IP on Monday vs. the Bucs, and we are starting to have real questions on the LA side. Even Sunday starter Tyler Glasnow was knocked around on Monday by the Nats, who touched him for six runs and eight hits in just 5 IP of an eventual 5-4 LA loss. Play Mets on Run Line
