Preview

The Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers meet again to play the 2nd game of the series at the Citizens Bank Park on Saturday. The Dodgers took the win on the first of the series. Freddie Freeman singled three times and drove in two runs, Julio Urías pitched five shutout innings and the Dodgers beat the Phillies 4-1 on Friday night.

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers get here with a 26-12 record and have won 6 games in a row. The team is averaging .245 at bat scoring 5.49 runs per game and allowing 3.24 runs. Freddie Freeman is batting for .322 AVG. Mookie Bets leads with 8 home runs and Justin Turner has 29 RBI. 

Walker Buehler leads the pitching staff with a 2.81 ERA, 39 strikeouts and 5 wins for the Dodgers.

Probable Pitcher: 

Mitch White (0-0, 4.82 ERA) will take the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Dodgers. White was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday, and he allowed two runs (one earned) on a hit and a walk while striking out three in 1.1 innings during a relief appearance against the Diamondbacks. The right-hander will make his first start of the season.

Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies get to this game with a 18-21 record and have lost 4 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 4.73 runs per game while allowing 4.18 runs. Bryce Harper leads the team with 9 home runs and 27 RBI batting for .305 avg.

Zach Wheeler leads the team with a 3.49 ERA, 41 strikeouts and 2 wins recorded for the Phillies.

Probable Pitcher: 

Aaron Nola (1-4, 3.64 ERA) will take the mound in the 2nd game of the series for the Phillies. Nola registered a no-decision during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Dodgers, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks with eight strikeouts in seven innings. 

BETTING TRENDS

The total has gone OVER in 7 of LA Dodgers' last 9 games.

LA Dodgers are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games.

Philadelphia are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of Philadelphia's last 5 games against LA Dodgers.

Prediction

Julio Urias and the Dodgers got their revenge and beat the Phillies 4-1 on Thursday. They are on a 6 game winning streak and will be looking to sweep the Phillies, the offense is on fire as they're the best in the MLB. Aaron Nola has had a bad season so far, the Phillies have lost in 6 of his 7 starts. I'm going with the hottest team, give me the Dodgers.

PICK: Dodgers ML (+107)
