Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’m leaning towards the Dodgers here. I’m not a fan of Roki Sasaki at all, but I think this is a good matchup for him against a Phillies team that seems to have forgotten how to hit against right-handed pitching as of late. Luzardo’s a solid option for Philly, but the Dodgers still hit lefties well and Luzardo’s been known to have some blow up starts here and there. Give me the Dodgers in this one.
