LA Dodgers vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

The Philadelphia Phillies have been a mess in the second half of the season, and a road trip to play the Dodgers probably doesn’t give the warm and fuzzy. However, the Phillies are still the Phillies, one of the best teams in baseball and one of the top contenders odds wise for a world series. You’re not going to get the Phillies at plus money prices, and you’re certainly not getting Nola as an underdog often. In fact, this is just the third time this season, Nola is an underdog, and he’s won 4 of his last 6 Games as a dog overall. Give me the Phillies based on the more favorable price.
