In this story:


The Dodgers look to pick up where they left off in Tuesday's doubleheader as they face off against the New York Mets on Wednesday at Citi Field, the finale of a three-game series. The Dodgers, holding a solid 33-22 record, aim to bounce back after a recent spell where their offense has seen them scoring three or fewer runs in five of their last seven games.

The Mets, currently at 22-32, are also struggling to put runs on the board, having lost 16 straight when scoring 3 or fewer. They'll face a stiff challenge in Dodgers left-hander James Paxton (5-0, 3.49 ERA), who has a 3.92 career ERA in his career against the Mets.
