The Los Angeles Dodgers take on their dominant National League rivals, the Philadelphia Phillies, in Game 3 of their three-gamse series on Thursday. The Dodgers are coming off a 4-3 Game 2 loss on Wednesday as they hope to avoid a clean sweep.
Bobby Miller's poor performance in Game 1 has sent him to Triple-A. Cristopher Sanchez dominated the mound in Game 2 as the boys in blue struggled to score more than two runs. Sanchez was the player of the game, while Gavin Stone suffered the loss as the Phillies scored four runs in 4.2 innings pitched.
With a home win, the Phillies will look for a sweep by turning in veteran pitcher Aaron Nola in Game 3. Nola's 3.48 ERA and 10-4 record has been a driving force for them.

While Roberts is dealing with several injured pitchers, Landon Knack will go up against the Phillies. Rookie Knack has a 1-2 record and a 2.86 ERA. Pitching against hard-hitting veterans like Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper is going to be a challenge for him.

Dodgers vs. Phillies Where to Watch?
MLB fans can catch the game live on SportsNet LA, MLBN, or NBCSP. The online stream will take place on Fubo TV. Game 3 is scheduled to start a little early at 3:05 p.m. EDT.
Dodgers vs. Phillies Prediction
Nola is way ahead of Knack in terms of experience. Meanwhile, the Phillies hold the best ERA in the MLB with 3.24. The Dodgers are ranked at No. 7 and have a team ERA of 3.70.
Knack will find it difficult to prevent the Phillies from scoring, while Nola is expected to last for at least five innings. The Phillies have a decent bullpen that could help them win, while their opponents are not too strong with their backup.
With players like Mookie Betts and Max Munchy out of the lineup, the chances of winning Game 3 have declined for the Dodgers. The Phillies have played their cards wisely with their starting rotation. Nola is predicted to secure a win.
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (-115)
