The Dodgers are 6-3 in their last 9 meetings against the Phillies and have won two of their last three visits in Philly.
In this Dodgers vs Phillies Prediction, the Phillies are coming as -135 home favorites. This is a pitcher’s duel between Wheeler and Wrobleski, who have a combined 4.82 ERA and have both been in excellent form. The opening game of this series had a whopping 17 total runs but I expect a low-scoring games as both elite pitchers suppress opposing offenses. Prior to yesterday’s game, both teams were 8-1 to the under in their last 9 games combined, so I will go with the under 8.5 runs in this one.
