Los Angeles Dodgers vs Philadelphia Phillies Prediction

The Dodgers are going to be favored a ton this season and it’s hard to step in front of them when they’ve won nine of their first 10 games. However, the Phillies are one of the teams that can compete with the Dodgers and they’ve done a good job in this series. Sanchez looked good in his season debut and he’s coming off a strong all-star season a year ago. You’re not going to get the Phillies as home dogs much this season, and you’re certainly not getting Sanchez as a dog many times either if he stays in this form. I’ll take a shot with the Phillies and the plus money.
