Dodgers at Phillies picks and predictions
Prediction
Phillies 6, Dodgers 5
Moneyline
BET PHILLIES (-135).
Philadelphia is the slightly hotter team, being 6-4 in their last 10 overall and 3-1 in its last 4 home Games while the Dodgers are only 4-6 in their last 10 overall and 1-3 in their last 4 road Games.
The Phillies are also 3-1 in their last 4 matchups vs. Los Angeles in Philadelphia, having won back-to-back meetings.
Be aware that the Dodgers are 6-4 in their last 10 meetings with Philadelphia.
Run line/Against the spread
PASS.
I like the Dodgers to cover here as these are both very good teams and as they hold the slight edge in recent matchups vs. Philly, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as +1.5 (-190) underdogs. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.
Over/Under
BET OVER 9 (-120).
The Over has hit in back-to-back home Games for Philadelphia and is 6-4 in its last 10 overall. For Los Angeles, the Over has hit in back-to-back outings and is 9-1 in its last 10. The Over is also 3-1-2 in the last 6 Los Angeles-Philadelphia matchups.
