New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
Play: Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers (27-13) are the best team in baseball and have continued their winning ways after the suspension of Manny Ramirez. After losing four of their next five games following the suspension, the Dodgers have bounced back to win five of their last six games. In last night's wild 3-2 11th inning victory over the The New York Mets (21-17), the Dodgers have improved to 15-3 at Dodger Stadium. Starting pitcher Chad Billingsley has emerged as the Dodgers best pitcher and ace. Billingsley, who has allowed three runs or less in all eight starts this season is sixth in the NL in ERA and has struck out 56 in 54 2-3 innings. With an offense that is third in the league with a batting average of .285 the Dodgers are going to be tough to beat here in this spot. This could easily be a playoff match-up come late September or early October. Look for the Dodgers to stay focused and continue to find ways to win games
