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.

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.
