Over/Under
The Under is 6-2 in the Phillies’ last 8 games against winning teams.
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 both in good shape.
Don’t overreact to the Dodgers’ 26 runs — on a 19-for-29 with-runners-in-scoring-position mark — so far in this series.
This is a half-unit play at best with a 1st-time starter in the mix, but BACK THE UNDER 9 (-122).
