NY Mets at LA Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw, Round 2

5 days ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

After a grinder of an extra-innings win on Monday, the New York Mets seek to up their win streak to five when they send Tylor Megill to the mound on Tuesday. The defending champion Dodgers will counter with future Hall of Famer Clayton Kershaw, who made his second start of the season versus the Mets at Citi Field back on May 23. He pitched two no-hit innings with a walk and a strikeout before a rain delay ended his night early.
NY Mets at LA Dodgers: Paul Blackburn returns in first start of 2025

The New York Mets took care of the White Sox and Rockies accordingly last week, and were rewarded with a return to first place in the NL East. Now, they’ll look to ride that momentum into a four-game series with the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers. The same Dodgers the Mets took two of three from in Flushing just over a week ago. They’ll look to keep up that momentum and upset the Dodgers again, and this time with righty Paul Blackburn making his season debut.
NY Yankees at LA Dodgers: Can Bombers avoid sweep on Sunday?

Saturday’s tilt between the Yankees and Dodgers was indeed a slugfest, just as we predicted. It was just a slugfest in the absolute worst way. Los Angeles’ deep lineup jumped on rookie Will Warren’s fastball from the start and welcomed him to the big leagues. An 18-2 romp later, Warren’s ERA ballooned to 5.19 and his FIP to a still-respectable 3.12 over a rough 1.1 inning outing. New York’s sole offense? Two solo home runs from Aaron Judge. Shocker indeed.

The New York Yankees came out swinging (literally) against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Home runs from Aaron Judge, Austin Wells, Trent Grisham, and Paul Goldschmidt put New York ahead 5-2 headed into the sixth inning. Then, the ghosts of Game 5 of the World Series showed up. The Dodgers put on a hit parade, sparked by Shohei Ohtani’s second homer of the night, and simply had everything go correctly for them. They took a 6-5 lead and ultimately won 8-5.
NY Yankees at LA Dodgers: World Series rematch begins Friday

1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

At long last, it’s finally here: The regular season World Series rematch between the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Yankees. It’s been exactly seven months since the Yankees blew a 5-0 lead in Game 5 and watched the Dodgers celebrate on the field at Yankee Stadium. The Bronx Bombers were completely outplayed in the series by a deep and dangerous Los Angeles team. A perfect storm of factors, namely Aaron Judge vanishing in the playoffs (again), led to the Dodgers’ dominance.
New York's blueprint to victory

It’s finally come, ladies and gentlemen: the long-anticipated World Series rematch series between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers. Both teams are performing about as expected, with both sitting in first place in their respective divisions. There is, however, a key difference. The Yankees own a comfortable six-and-a-half game lead over the Rays in the AL East. Los Angeles, on the other hand, is clinging to a two-game lead over the Padres in the NL West.
We'd love to stop talking about Juan Soto...but we can't

1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

I would love nothing more than to write a Mets piece that doesn’t feature Juan Soto in some capacity. It’s become the new “F*** Altuve” from the Yankees’ side. Ha ha ha, Juan Soto took more money to sign with the Mets and sucks now. Lolololol, Soto looks miserable and clearly wishes he re-signed with the Yankees. Hehehehehe, blah blah blah snarky Soto comment. It’s. Exhausting. And yet, the man gives us no choice, nor do his New York Mets! The softer schedule has caught up with them.
Yankees-Angels: Requiem for an old rivalry

1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

With so much history between the Yankees and the Dodgers, it’s easy to forget the Angels also play in Los Angeles. Moreover, it’s easier to forget that, for a time, the Angels and Yankees did not like each other. Granted, it doesn’t help that the Angels name has changed a bunch throughout its history. Los Angeles Angels. California Angels. Anaheim Angels. And now, the mouthful that is the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
This week is the New York Mets' to lose

1 week ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

The New York Mets are riding high after taking two of three from the defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers over the weekend, but their real test comes this week. The Mets, currently two games behind the Phillies in the NL East, are home all week with six games that are practically gimmes: Three versus the White Sox, three versus the Rockies. Both teams are a combined 26-80 on the year. Their combined run differential is a dreck -221.
NY Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers: Mets seek to even series

2 weeks ago | elitesportsny.com | Josh Benjamin

Call it luck or a well-timed rain delay, but we were incorrect in predicting Friday’s NLCS rematch between the Mets and Dodgers. Clayton Kershaw looked sharp in two innings before the weather ended his night early, and LA staved off a Mets comeback to finally win in 13 innings, 7-5. Clearer skies are expected for Saturday’s nighttime tilt, and the skidding Mets are now three games behind the Phillies in the NL East.
