Phillies at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 7, Phillies 4
Money line
This series has gone against how the season has gone. The Phillies have scored 29 runs off the Dodgers’ pitching staff, which has not given up many runs this season. They have handed the Dodgers their first home series loss this season. This is also the first time the Dodgers have lost more than 2 games in a row, which suggests they are due to bounce back.
The Phillies have won 4 games in a row for the 2nd time this season. They have not had a longer winning streak than 4 games. And remember they have lost Nola’s last 6 starts.
Take the DODGERS (-145).

Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers have covered the spread in every victory this season. Every win they have has been by at least 2 runs. They have also been favored in every game so they have not covered the spread in any loss.
The Phillies are 17-17 ATS overall and 9-7 ATS on the road. They have covered the spread in 4 straight games.
Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+135).
Over/Under
Every game this series has had 9 runs or more. Nola’s last 2 starts have had double-digit runs as the total.
I thought the other games this series would stay low-scoring. I guess that wasn’t in the cards.
Take OVER 8.5 (-107).
