LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — Shohei Ohtani is slated to take the mound for the visiting New York Mets on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Dodgers, a marquee pitching matchup in the finale of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.

The Mets (7-10) will turn to Ohtani (1-0) as they try to avoid a sweep after being shut out in the first two games of the series, including a 4-0 loss Monday. The two-way star’s start headlines a contest featuring two of the National League’s early-season opposites: the struggling Mets and the surging Dodgers (12-4).

Los Angeles will counter with left-hander Justin Wrobleski (2-1), who dominated the Mets just two days ago. On Monday, Wrobleski threw eight scoreless innings, allowing only two hits. In his last two starts, he has surrendered just one earned run over 13 innings.

Ohtani, in his first season with the Mets, represents a bright spot for a team mired in a offensive slump. New York has been held to two runs or fewer in six of its last seven games, all losses. A player to watch for the Mets is David Peterson, who took the loss Monday after allowing four earned runs over five innings.

The Dodgers’ lineup, which leads the NL in several offensive categories, will pose a significant challenge. Andy Pages, who hit a three-run homer Monday, is among the hot bats in a deep order.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the Dodgers are projected to win 6-3. Los Angeles is a pregame favorite with a spread of -1.5, and the over/under is set at 8 runs.

Following the game, the Mets travel to Chicago to open a three-game series with the Cubs on Friday. The Dodgers begin a four-game set at Colorado on Friday.
