On Wednesday night, the New York Mets will finish their three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers (in California).
A victory on Wednesday would avoid a sweep (and snap a seven-game losing skid).
One of the reasons for their recent struggles is that the team has been without their best player (Juan Soto).
