  • Los Angeles Dodgers are 9-2 in their last 11 road games

  • Blake Snell pitched a complete shutout against Philadelphia last month

Head To Head

  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead the all-time series 1198-950-15
  • Los Angeles Dodgers lead this MLB Playoff series 1-0
  • Los Angeles Dodgers won 5-3 when the two teams last met on October 4

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 are tipped to follow up their series-opening victory in Philadelphia.

The Dodgers have been on a roll for several weeks and Blake Snell shut out the Phillies a couple of weeks back, so we are backing the visitors to take control of this series.
