Phillies vs Dodgers Prediction
You don’t get the Dodgers as an underdog often, so I wouldn’t talk you off the ledge if you’re looking in that direction. However, Sheehan has been hittable all season while Sanchez is a CY Young candidate with a 2.62 ERA and 1.19 WHIP through 127.1 innings. Sanchez is even better at home through 73 innings, where he has a 0.86 ERA and a .188 allowed batting average. Sanchez has been spooky at home this season. The price is more than reasonable. Give me the Phillies.
