Philadelphia at Los Angeles

The Phillies lead the NL East and are playing good baseball right now as they are 10-4 over their last 14 games. The Phillies are a big-hitting team, but the name of the game of late has been the pitching. The Phillies’ staff has allowed just 10 runs over their last five games or just two per game. Meanwhile the Dodgers’ offense has produced just 68 runs in their last 18 games or 3.8 a game. Against a hard-hitting Philly team they will need to muster more than that. Kyle Kendrick is pitching to a 1.35 ERA over his last three starts, but has been the best road pitcher in baseball where the Phillies have won his last nine road starts and 10 of 11 on the season. We like the Phil's to grab the opener in LA.
