Shohei Ohtani gave up a few early runs, but he allowed just three hits and struck out nine in the series opener.
My Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions expect Blake Snell to continue the K train in Game 2. Let’s break it all down with my MLB picks for October 6.
Dodgers vs Phillies Game 2 predictions
Who will win Dodgers vs Phillies Game 2
The Dodgers. Blake Snell has pitched like a true ace over the last month while Jesus Luzardo limped to the finish line, allowing four runs in three of his final six starts — including against the Dodgers.
With a more in-form starting pitcher and seemingly all their top bats producing consistently, the Dodgers are a real threat to take both games in Philadelphia.
Dodgers vs Phillies best bet
Blake Snell Over 7.5 strikeouts (-113)
Two things can be true: the Philadelphia Phillies hit left-handed pitching well, and they strike out a heck of a lot.
The Phillies posted the fourth-highest ISO vs. lefties from September 1 onward. However, that power and free-swinging came at the cost of a ton of strikeouts. Lefties sat Phillies down in 26.1% of their at bats in that time, the sixth-highest rate in the majors.
Blake Snell punched out a whopping 35.4% of opposing batters over the same span. This while posting a 1.30 FIP and ridiculously low 20.8% fly ball rate — the lowest on a loaded Los Angeles Dodgers staff.
He's striking out batters at a crazy rate while giving up little quality contact and keeping balls down. His ability to pitch so effectively beyond strikeouts allows him to avoid trouble and pitch deep into games, giving him a crazy high ceiling.
Snell struck out at least nine batters in three of his past four starts, including a 12-strikeout performance against these same Phillies.
Shohei Ohtani piled up nine Ks over six innings in Game 1, and the Phillies aren’t as strikeout-happy vs. righties. This is a good spot for Snell.
Dodgers vs Phillies Game 2 same-game parlay (SGP)
Teoscar Hernandez didn’t have his best season, but he's ramping up as the games become more important. Hernandez has cleared his H+R+RBI line in seven of his past nine games, including all three playoff appearances thus far.
A notoriously good hitter vs. fastball-heavy lefties, he has a nice matchup to build on his success against Jesus Luzardo.
Trea Turner hit .323 against left-handed pitchers in the regular season but generated little power, with 75.4% of those hits going for just one base.
Dodgers vs Phillies SGP
- Blake Snell Over 7.5 strikeouts
- Teoscar Hernandez Over 1.5 H+R+RBI
- Trea Turner Over 0.5 singles
Dodgers vs Phillies home run pick for Game 2
Teoscar Hernandez (+400)
When Hernandez gets hot, he really gets hot. He’s homered three times over the past three games, excels against left-handed pitching, and is 3-for-8 against Luzardo with two extra base hits.
