Dodgers vs Phillies Prediction

The Phillies are winning again, but I want nothing to do with Painter, who has a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP. He’s allowed 27 hits and 16 runs in his last 26 innings. Dodger Stadium and this lineup aren’t where Painter will turn things around. Yamamoto remains steady with a 3.09 ERA and 0.98 WHIP, and he’s allowed just 10 hits and 2 runs in his last 14 innings. I’m always looking for spots to fade the Dodgers and these inflated prices, but there’s a grand canyon gap on the mound. Give me the Dodgers and the RL for max betting value.
