Mets Face Dodgers in NLCS Game 3

The New York Mets are gearing up for Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, with Walker Buehler starting for the Dodgers despite his struggles this season, posting a 5.38 ERA and allowing a high number of home runs. Mets slugger Pete Alonso has a strong history against Buehler, hitting four home runs in just 14 plate appearances. Meanwhile, the Mets are optimistic about Kodai Senga's potential contributions despite a poor showing in Game 1, and he remains on the roster as they assess his role moving forward. The Mets are also considering offseason changes, with Blake Snell seen as a potential target to bolster their rotation. In Game 2, the Mets' Sean Manaea delivered an impressive performance, limiting the Dodgers to just a few hits and securing a critical win. The Mets' lineup, ranking high in various offensive categories, will be key as they look to capitalize on Buehler's vulnerabilities in the upcoming matchup.
