Runs are never in short supply when the Phillies and the Dodgers meet. Our MLB betting picks expect that trend to continue, even with Aaron Nola taking the hill against highly-touted prospect Gavin Stone at Dodger Stadium.
This line is essentially a pick ‘em, as -110 is available for both sides. Currently, the best price available on the Dodgers is -105 at WynnBet, while the best price on the Phillies is -104 at FanDuel.
The Phillies enter this contest on a cold streak after dropping three straight games by a combined score of 30-8. Granted, one of those games came against the Houston Astros, while the other two were against the Dodgers — not exactly soft competition. It’s less about the three losses in a row, and more about how soundly they’ve been defeated in both games to start this series.
The starting pitching, bullpen, and lineup have all failed Philadelphia lately. I wouldn’t sound the alarm yet on the rotation or the lineup, as both possess plenty of talent and should round into form eventually. Still, the bullpen is a complete mess. The Phillies will need Nola to pitch deep into this game to chew up innings, given that the relief options will be tired and likely ineffective.
Bettors on the Philadelphia side will point out that Nola looked fantastic in his last outing, allowing just a single earned run on three hits across eight innings against the Astros. He’s allowed six total earned runs across his last three starts while eating up 21 innings — better form than his rough start to the year. They’d also point out that Stone has a 4.74 ERA in AAA and is now making his MLB debut against last year’s World Series runners-up — a tough spot.
