Over/Under
The Under is 6-1 in the Phillies’ last 7 games against winning teams.
With the Los Angeles batting attack scuffling against port-siders, the Under is definitely in play.
Peg both bullpens as being due for better days. Philadelphia relievers have had to work around a .320 batting average on balls in play, L.A.’s with a .342 mark. Both do well to keep hard contact in check. The back ends of those units are mostly intact after Monday’s blowout.
The weather report for Dodger Stadium calls for an outward breeze but a game-time temperature in the 50s.
BACK THE UNDER 8 (-122).
