Philadelphia Phillies Preview

Suárez has been steady all season. The left-hander has not given up many long balls (10 home runs in 143.0 IP) and mixes strikes with weak contact (140 Ks, 35 BBs). Philadelphia’s overall pitching staff is strong (3.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP), and the bullpen has handled recent leads. Philadelphia leads the National League by 13 games.

At the plate, the Phillies have plenty of power but will be shorthanded. Trea Turner (10-day IL) and Alec Bohm (10-day IL), but still has strong bats in Kyle Schwarber (51 home runs, .938 OPS) and Bryce Harper (26 home runs, .858 OPS). Even with injuries, the club’s slash line of .262/.332/.432 is very strong.

Los Angeles Dodgers Preview

The Dodgers have not named a starter. The Dodgers may use the bullpen from the start, with their first pitcher going just an inning or two. Los Angeles has not extended its lead at the top of the National League West this season, currently just 2.5 games ahead of the second-place San Diego Padres.

L.A.’s big advantage is at the plate. Shohei Ohtani is having another strong year (49 home runs, 1.008 OPS) and pairs with Freddie Freeman (.293/.364/.494) to give any left-hander plenty of problems. Will Smith (.901 OPS) and Max Muncy add even more power to the deep lineup. The Dodgers’ offense rates better on power (217 home runs, .438 slugging percentage) than Philadelphia’s.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

The LA Dodgers will win. Philadelphia has a solid starter on the mound, but Los Angeles has a powerful and deep lineup at the plate, and a stronger home record. Look for LA to use the long ball to create a lead that the Phillies will not overcome. Final Score Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers win 7-2.
