Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers in this one.I’m not ready to give up on Yamamoto as I think Yamamoto is still a really strong option for this Dodger rotation. I don’t think that Andrew Painter’s current run of form is sustainable, and I think the Dodgers get the series win here. Give me the Dodgers.
