The model knows Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman is batting .310 and had hits in the final two games of the series against Chicago. Right-handed starting pitcher Dustin May will be on the mound for Los Angeles after allowing two runs on two hits and four walks across 5.1 innings against San Francisco last Tuesday. He is 1-1 with a 1.47 ERA through his first three starts of the season. 

The model also knows the Mets hit three home runs on Sunday and are led by first baseman Pete Alonso, who hit his major-league best eighth home run on Sunday. He is tied with Dave Kingman for the fifth-most homers in franchise history (154). Third baseman Brett Baty, the team's No. 2 prospect, is expected to make his season debut on Monday after batting .400 with five homers in nine games for Triple-A Syracuse.
