The Philadelphia Phillies and Los Angeles Dodgers have the third game of their four-game set tonight at Dodger Stadium. The Phillies have unexpectedly taken the first two games in Los Angeles, and they will try and win the series winner today.
These games have been high-scoring affairs as Philly has won 9-7 and 12-10.
Walker Buehler started for Los Angeles last night after Clayton Kershaw was scrapped from the lineup late. Buehler gave up nine hits and five runs in five innings of work.

Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Best Picks
Ranger Suarez has been highly inefficient this season, but he's still managed a 3-1 record along with two no-decisions that still resulted in Philly wins. His strikeout totals have ranged from one to seven, making his prop a hard play. However, 3 1/2 at plus money is an irresitable figure. The risk is worth the reward for bettors on this one.
Ranger Suarez Over 3.5 Strikeouts (+106)
"7 Ks for Ranger Suarez!" - @ Brodes Media
Another stat bettors should know about Ranger Suarez is that a run was scored in the first inning in five of his six starts. Couple that with how this series is going, and it's plain to see over half a run in the first inning makes for a smart bet.
A Run to be Scored in the First Inning (-102)
Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
Based on the teachings of Major League, we know that the Dodgers are officially on a losing streak, but they will try to return to their winning ways today with Julio Urias on the bump. Urias has been incredible this season, with a 2.10 ERA after six starts. Losing four in a row seems unfathomable for the Dodgers, so the Dodgers to cover is the advisable pick.
Dodgers -1.5 (-102)
