The Mets are not expected to face Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani on the mound during the series.

Kodai Senga (10-6, 3.19) is set to start for the Mets on Friday. He has won each of his last three starts and is 3-1 with a 2.93 ERA in his last seven starts.

He absorbed the loss in his last start against St. Louis on Sunday, giving up nine hits and three earned runs in just four innings. He struck out three and walked none. But, he’s been in a rut in his last seven starts, going 0-4 with a 9.22 ERA. He has struck out 22 and walked 11 in that span.

He walked three and struck out four. He has started in his last five appearances and is 3-0 in the span.

David Peterson (3-7, 5.59) is expected to start for the Mets in Sunday’s finale. The left-hander started against Atlanta on Monday, giving up seven hits and four earned runs in 4.2 innings. He struck out four and walked two. In his last seven games (four starts), he is 1-0 with a 3.15 ERA, along with 19 strikeouts and 13 walks.

Patrick Sandoval (6-10, 4.08) is set to start for the Angels on Sunday. A left-hander, he has lost his last two outings. Against Tampa Bay on Saturday, he gave up seven hits and two earned runs in 4.2 innings against the Rays. He struck out four and walked three.
