The battle between the top two NL teams will continue at Citizens Bank Park on Wednesday as the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Philadelphia Phillies. The opening game of their three-game series was nothing less than an embarrassing defeat for the boys in blue as the Phillies routed their opponent with 10 runs.
Trending
Defensively, Philadelphia restricted the Dodgers to just one run, marking one of their worst defeats of the season. The Phillies sent a strong message with the win that they are here to dominate the NL. Trea Turner was the player of the game after smashing a grand slam at the bottom of the fourth inning.
The only run for the Dodgers came from Cavan Biggio in the fifth inning. Bobby Miller had one of his worst outings on the season as the Phillies offense racked up back-to-back runs.
Gavin Stone will get on the mound for the game on Wednesday as they hope to save this series. Stone quickly established himself as a dependable pitcher with a 9-2 record and a 3.03 ERA.
The Phils will turn in Cristopher Sanchez to the mound. Sanchez has a 6-4 record but holds a strong 2.96 ERA. The southpaw has helped the team win several crucial games this season.

Dodgers vs. Phillies Prediction
The Phillies proved to be a huge threat in the National League and they continue to hold the best record in the MLB (59-32). With the right support from the plate, Sanchez should be able to strike out Shohei Ohtani and Co.
Stone has been promising this season, but striking out the Phillies is not going to be an easy task. It's also worth noting that Bryce Harper and Kyle Schwarber are back on the squad. Turner has been on fire since his return, and the Phills are already viewed as the World Series favorite.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and his squad will likely not stand much of a chance of defeating the Phils in this game.
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies - 1.5 (-135)
