Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Phillies here. I think that Zack Wheeler’s the better starting option by a fair margin here and now gets a matchup with a reeling Justin Wrobleski. The Phillies have been solid against left-handed pitching as of late so I think they’ll get to him and I think Wheeler has another strong start so give me the Phillies in this one.
