Trends
Los Angeles is 8-3 in their last 11 games against the NL East and 85-40 in their last 125 Sunday games. The over is 15-5-2 in LA’s last 22 games. Philadelphia is 6-1 in their last 7 games and 5-1 in their last 6 game three’s of a series. The under is 10-4 in Philadelphia’s last 14 game three’s of a series. Los Angeles is 7-2 in these two teams last 9 head to head meetings.
Pick
The Dodgers were able to snap Philadelphia’s winning streak on Saturday and they will go for the series win in this matchup. LA hasn’t announced an official starting pitcher for Sunday, but it will be a bullpen game, so don’t expect many innings out of whoever starts the game. Philadelphia is starting Taijuan Walker, who has allowed six earned runs in his last four starts (23 IP). Walker has pitched very well recently and I like the Phillies to get the win here.
