Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
I’ll try the Dodgers here. Both starters could use a good outing, though. Stone is coming off four earned in 3.0 innings on seven hits and three walks versus the Diamondbacks. He had just two earned in 14.1 innings prior to that across a pair of wins, though. As for Sanchez, he gave up seven earned in 4.0 innings during his last start but was pitching well before that.
On Tuesday the Dodgers had a couple of bad innings—particularly a six-run fourth.
