The Los Angeles Dodgers are the hottest team in baseball, having won nine of their last 10 games after beating these New York Mets 5-1 here last night, and they also fall into our Bullpen System.

Dodgers starter Hiroki Kuroda has done well in his first season in the Major Leagues, posting a 3.82 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and four Quality Starts in six starts while allowing more than three earned runs just once. He has also been stretched out to the points where he went a career high seven innings at Florida in his last outing, allowing only three runs and five hits. He should be doubly tough facing the Mets for the first time ever. If he is in need of relief however, he has the support of a Dodger bullpen that ranks sixth in the Majors with a collective 2.99 ERA.

Mets starter Nelson Figueroa has been mediocre in his fist year in the Big Leagues since 2004, posting a modest 4.08 ERA and a shaky 1.43 WHIP. He had been plagued by wildness, issuing 15 walks in 28.2 innings, and as a result he has failed to last six innings in his last two starts. Thus the Mets middle relief may be called on early tonight, which is almost always an adventure.

Finally, the offensive numbers also favor Los Angeles here, as they are batting a good .283 as a team while New York is struggling along with a .246 team batting average.
