Yu Darvish makes his Dodgers debut after the Rangers lost seven of his last eight starts, including a 22-10 massacre on Wednesday when he gave up 10 runs on nine hits in just 3 2/3 innings. Darvish is 6-9 with a 4.01 ERA overall, including 0-3 and 7.20 in July. Meanwhile, Jacob deGrom is 12-4 and New York has won eight of his last nine starts, although he lost a 3-2 decision at Seattle on Saturday even though he allowed only three runs in six innings. The right-hander has done his best work at home where he is 6-2 with a 2.27 ERA and .198 opponent batting average. Last year against the Dodgers, deGrom gave up just three runs in 14 innings. The Mets have won his last five home starts this season and four of his last five starts against the Dodgers dating to previous years. There's lots of value with the home underdog. Play the Mets.
