The Los Angeles Dodgers (55-38) take on the Philadelphia Phillies (60-32) Thursday in the finale of a 3-game set at Citizens Bank Park at 6:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Phillies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.
Season series: Phillies lead 2-0
The Dodgers dropped their 3rd straight game Wednesday with a 4-3 loss in Philadelphia. They simply can’t stack up on the mound right now with all of their injuries. DH Shohei Ohtani went 2-for-4 with an RBI, but it wasn’t enough.
The Phillies, despite RHP Zack Wheeler exiting with back stiffness Tuesday, are getting healthier. DH Kyle Schwarber made his presence felt with a leadoff homer in his 2nd game back from the IL. The Phils have the best record in baseball.
