Who will win Dodgers vs Phillies today: Dodgers (+110)

The Philadelphia Phillies put up a 10-spot on the Los Angeles Dodgers last night. I always look to fade the team that scored double-digit runs, as it is incredibly difficult to replicate that level of success at the plate in back-to-back games.

Zack Wheeler won't be easy to get past, but Justin Wrobleski has been stellar. The Dodgers' hurler ranks in the 97th percentile in Pitching Run Value, and his 5% walk rate will ensure there won't be many freebies to get guys on base.

Also, when will you be able to get the Dodgers at this price to win next?

Play this to +100.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Despite the Phillies' explosive Monday evening, they still own a 73 wRC+, 3.6% barrel rate, and .122 ISO over their last six games.

Dodgers vs Phillies Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (+109)

Despite last night being filled with a ton of runs, I think this one stays Under due to how well both pitchers have been performing over their last five games.

Wrobleski owns a 2.17 ERA, 2.99 xERA, and 0.90 WHIP, while Wheeler has posted a 2.37 ERA, 1.90 xERA, and 0.99 WHIP during that same stretch.

The offenses have not been that hot since coming back from the break either. Both teams have a wRC+ under 75, a wOBA under .280, and an ISO under .130 over their last six games.

I see a pitching duel brewing this evening in Philadelphia, and would play this to +105.

Play this to +100.
