Los Angeles Dodgers at Philadelphia Phillies Betting Tips – Phillies To Down Dodgers In MLB
The Los Angeles Dodgers face the Philadelphia Phillies in a matchup where neither side has been in standout form recently.

Verdict
Neither team is in good form heading into this matchup – but the X-factor is almost certainly Cristopher Sanchez.
The Philadelphia starter is in the CY Young conversation thanks to some outstanding form this season – especially at home – so we are backing the Phillies to take this series opener.
