The Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers meet Wednesday in MLB action at Dodger Stadium. Let’s preview this game and give out a pick and prediction.
The Philadelphia Phillies have scored 8 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 5 of their last 10 games. The Phillies have won 9 of their last 10 games when scoring 4 or more runs. Bryson Stott leads the Phillies with 40 hits and 9 RBI, while Nick Castellanos and Trea Turner have combined for 70 hits and 26 RBI. Aaron Nola gets the ball, and he is 2-2 with a 4.46 ERA and 28 strikeouts this season. Nola is 2-0 with a 3.57 ERA and 49 strikeouts in his career against the Dodgers.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 32 runs in their last 3 games and 4 or more runs in 7 of their last 10 games. The Dodgers have won 9 straight games when scoring 4 or more runs. Freddie Freeman leads the Dodgers with 38 hits and 13 RBI, while Mookie Betts and James Outman have combined for 59 hits and 38 RBI. Gavin Stone will make his major league debut when he takes the mound. Stone was 13-10 with a 2.69 ERA and 333 strikeouts in his minor league career.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are on one of those heaters where the offense is rolling, and they’re tough to step in front of. However, the Dodgers are throwing out a pitcher who will make his big league debut, and I’m never excited to get behind teams in these spots. Gavin Stone is one of the Dodger’s top prospects and is expected to develop into a key rotation player, but I need a sample size. Nola is better than what he’s shown so far. Give me the Phillies.
