Phillies vs Dodgers Game 4 predictions
Who will win Phillies vs Dodgers Game 4
This won’t be an easy matchup for the Phils. Tyler Glasnow is electric, and this will be his first start of the postseason after pitching out of the bullpen earlier in this series.
Plus, I simply do not see a team as good as Los Angeles losing two games at home when the stakes are this high. It may ultimately be a close contest, but the Dodgers will come out on top and advance to the NLCS.
Phillies vs Dodgers best bet
Cristopher Sanchez Over 5.5 strikeouts (-112)
Cristopher Sanchez was the Philadelphia Phillies’ best starter in 2025. He went 13-5 with a 2.50 ERA in 32 starts, striking out 212 in 202 innings.
The left-hander has serious swing-and-miss stuff, and it plays against anyone, no matter how good the opposing lineup may be.
Case in point: the Los Angeles Dodgers. Sanchez sat down eight LA hitters via the K in Game 1, and he’s cashed the Over in punchouts in five consecutive appearances.
He does strike out fewer hitters on the road, but the numbers are still impressive, with 97 Ks in 104 1/3 innings.
Even if Sanchez does ultimately give up some runs, he’ll still manage to rack up his fair share of strikeouts in Game 4.
Phillies vs Dodgers Game 4 same-game parlay (SGP)
Tommy Edman's 4-for-13 against Sanchez. He’s also batting .251 at home compared to .199 on the road.
Even though they're up 2-1 in the series, the pressure is on for the Dodgers. Going back to Citizens Bank Park for a decisive Game 5 isn’t something any team would want, because the atmosphere in Philadelphia is electric, and it will fuel the Phils, especially after losing Games 1 and 2 at home.
I do believe the Dodgers will win this one. Tyler Glasnow will give them enough quality innings, while they will chip away and score a couple of runs off Sanchez. Failing that, the Dodgers will once again get to Philly's bullpen, just like in Game 1.
