Los Angeles at Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Phillies are simply not playing good baseball right now. They lost their last game of their series with the Mets, and lost consecutive series to Washington and Pittsburgh. They have another question mark. Cliff Lee has not been the same pitcher he has been in the postseason. The Phillies are just 3-5 in Lee's last eight starts, and on the season he is pitching to an ERA of just shy of 4. The Dodgers are 5-2 over their last seven games and are playing their best baseball of the season. They are a perfect 5-0 the last five times Lilly has opened a series. The Phillies behind Lee when opening a series have been just the opposite at 0-4 the last four times he pitched in a series opener. I like the Dodgers in this one.
