Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Phillies Prediction
I’m on the Phillies in this one. I get the allure of backing the Dodgers at plus money, but Cristopher Sanchez is the far better starting option in this game and the Dodgers are coming off a Sunday doubleheader with Sunday night baseball as one of those games with a tricky travel spot. I think Philadelphia takes care of business here so give me the Phils.
