The Philadelphia Phillies head out west for an interdivisional matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the opener of their three-game series from Dodger Stadium.
These two teams haven’t met since 2019 due to the COVID-scheduling from last season, but that year the Dodgers took 5 of 7 matchups between the two teams.
The Phillies will look to keep their momentum rolling and close the gap on the New York Mets atop the AL East. The Dodgers will need to continue to keep winning in order to tighten the Giants lead in the NL West and fend off the 3rd place Padres.
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies impressed many in baseball over the weekend with a strong series win against the Yankees and have put together a nice little run of games in their own right as they head out west.
They haven’t been able to close the gap on the Mets a ton over the last week, but the wins have at least allowed them to keep pace with the NL East leaders.
The Phillies are average across most offensive categories, but their consistency as of late has really been the key to their good run.
Spencer Howard will get the start as the youngster looks for his 1st win of the season.
Los Angeles Dodgers
The Dodgers might still be in 2nd place in the NL West and have the 5th-best record in baseball, but for how deep their pitching and lineup is, it seems that they’ve underwhelmed thus far.
With a lot of season left, many are expecting the Dodgers to go on a run at some point, but they’ll need to find more consistency on a nightly basis.
A key problem for the Dodgers have been their health, as Corey Seager, Edwin Rios, and Max Muncy are all out for the foreseeable future and Cody Bellinger has missed a lengthy amount of time but is expected back in the series opener.
Tony Gonsolin comes in having only made one start on the season, lasting 1.2 innings and allowing 1 run, good for an ERA of 5.40.

Free Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers MLB Prediction:
The Phillies are coming off an exciting series against the Yankees and traveling across the country is bound to give them a letdown in the opener regardless of who they were playing.
Justin Turner is on a tear right now and with Bellinger likely back in the fold too, it gives the lineup a great lefty and righty balance that is difficult for opponents to deal with.
Expect Gonsolin to do enough on the mound for Los Angeles but the offense to really carry them in the opener.
