LA Dodgers vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

I’m on the Phillies here. You have two starters in Phillips and Stone that are coming off of rough outings last time out, but the thing is that Stone has had a lot of rough outings as of late, while Phillips had thrown back-to-back 6+ inning shutouts before getting roughed up by Seattle last time out. I think The Phillies keep it going and win the rubber match here so give me Philadelphia.
