Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored because they’re the Dodgers, and they’re at home with Ohtani on the mound. However, Ohtani has been hittable lately, allowing 21 hits and 11 runs in his last 21 innings. The Phillies are too good and too hot to turn down at a reasonable price, and Sanchez has been an all-star caliber pitcher this season. Sanchez has allowed 17 hits and 3 runs in his last 20 innings. In 97.1 road innings, Sanchez has a 2.87 ERA and .249 allowed batting average. I’m going to back the Phillies again.
