On Deck: May 29 Dodgers-Mets
Los Angeles Dodgers (26-26) at New York Mets (25-26) 7:10pm
Brad Penny (5-5 5.32) vs. Claudio Vargas (1-2 3.93)
What to watch: The Mets, winners of two in a row, suddenly appear to be alive after two months of slumber. The second place Dodgers and Joe Torre are in town for four games. The Mets usually have Brad Penny’s number, but shouldn’t take him for granted. He’s still a big right handed power arm. Claudio Vargas is auditioning to keep his job when Pedro gets back next week. We’ll see if Willie keeps the same or similar alternate lineup that he’s won with the last two nights.
