Los Angeles Dodgers at Philadelphia Phillies Preview & Picks
Philadelphia are backed to draw first blood in this NLDS matchup.
The Phillies overcame a dominant Shohei Ohtani display to beat LA last month, and with the team and starter Cristopher Sanchez both in good form at home, we expect repeat scenes.
- Philadelphia Phillies are 19-5 in their previous 24 home games
- Philadelphia Phillies are 7-3 in the previous 10 meetings
- Philadelphia starter Cristopher Sanchez has a 1.94 ERA at home
- Los Angeles starter Shohei Ohtani has a 2.87 ERA this season
Head To Head
- Los Angeles Dodgers lead the all-time series 1197-950-15
- Los Angeles Dodgers won 5-0 when the two teams last met on September 17
Los Angeles Dodgers Form
Los Angeles booked their place in the postseason by compiling a 93-69 record to finish atop the NL West standings.
However, the Dodgers’ record was not enough for them to earn a bye in the first round of the playoffs.
They instead head to overcome Cincinnati to make the Division Series, and they went into that series in good form, having won nine of their final 11 regular season games.
Los Angeles’ strong run included a four-game win streak that closed out the regular season, which saw them beat Arizona 5-4 before sweeping Seattle with 3-2, 5-3 and 6-1 wins.
The Dodgers then took that win streak to six games in the Wild Card round, as they make straightforward work of the Reds thanks to 10-5 and 8-4 victories.
Philadelphia Phillies Form
Philadelphia claimed a playoff place by putting together a 96-66 regular season record to finish top of the NL East.
Only one team won more regular season games than the Phillies, and that meant their mark was enough to secure a first-round bye.
They wrapped up the regular season by rebounding from a run of three straight defeats with four wins in their final five games.
Philadelphia stopped the rot with an 11-1 demolition of Miami at home, and they then backed up that victory with a 1-0 win over the Marlins and a 3-1 success at home to Minnesota.
The Phillies dropped the second meeting with the Twins, 5-0, but issued an immediate response as they ended the regular season with a 2-1 victory.
Verdict
Los Angeles gave up a bunch of runs in the mid-to-late innings against Cincinnati, and that is a big red flag for this meeting with Philadelphia.
The Dodgers failed to make the most of a dominant Ohtani display when the teams met last month, and we could see similar scenes in this latest meeting.
