Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets (2026-07-25). Yoshinobu Yamamoto vs Nolan McLean at Citi Field.
Starters — Yamamoto has a 2.78 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across 119.2 innings, with 8.5 K/9, 1.88 BB/9, and 0.98 HR/9. His last three starts were 9.0 IP, 2 ER, 7 K, 0 BB; 6.0 IP, 6 ER, 6 K, 4 BB; and 7.0 IP, 0 ER, 10 K, 2 BB. The overall profile is elite run prevention and command, and the recent trend is up despite one rough outing. McLean carries a 3.34 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 113.1 innings, with a strong 10.72 K/9, 3.26 BB/9, and 0.79 HR/9. His last three starts were 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 10 K, 2 BB; 6.0 IP, 0 ER, 7 K, 2 BB; and 6.0 IP, 2 ER, 5 K, 1 BB. He has been missing bats at a high rate and comes in on a clear down trend in ERA form, meaning improved recent results.
Teams — Los Angeles has the stronger offensive baseline with a .774 OPS and 539 runs scored, backed by a .260 team average. The Dodgers also bring the better run prevention numbers overall, with a 3.53 team ERA and 1.13 WHIP. Their last 10 games are a neutral 5-5, but the season-long profile remains balanced and efficient on both sides. New York has a .686 OPS, 421 runs scored, and a .233 team average, so the lineup has been less productive over the full sample. The Mets’ pitching staff has a 4.23 ERA and 1.31 WHIP, which puts more pressure on McLean to continue his recent form. Their 3-7 record over the last 10 games adds to the concern, especially given the gap in season-long offensive output.
