Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

I’m leaning towards the Phillies here. This is probably a better series to watch rather than bet, but the thing here is that the Phillies for me have a significant edge in starting pitching and I’m still having trust issues with backing this Dodgers offense to produce as talented as this team is on paper. I think the Phillies can get to Emmet Sheehan a lot easier than the Dodgers will get to Suarez here and in the end, I think the Phillies draw first blood in this series. Give me Philadelphia here.
