The Mets will look to continue their climb in the NL wild-card race when they host the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of a three-game series. Right-hander Noah Syndergaard (10-7, 4.06 ERA) is scheduled to take the mound for the Mets against star Dodgers left-hander Clayton Kershaw (13-5, 3.06 ERA). Both teams earned wins Thursday, when the host Mets routed the Diamondbacks 11-1, and the visiting Dodgers edged the Baltimore Orioles 4-2.
