The Los Angeles Dodgers go for their seventh straight win when they host the Philadelphia Phillies tonight.

With Roki Sasaki on the hill, however, the Boys in Blue will be at a starting pitcher disadvantage against Jesus Luzardo.

See why I’m backing the visitors with my Phillies vs. Dodgers predictions and MLB picks for Saturday, May 30.

Who will win Phillies vs Dodgers today: Phillies (+117)

Roki Sasaki carries an unfavorable 4.95 xERA and 5.19 FIP, and makes the Los Angeles Dodgers overvalued.

His four-seamer has been crushed (.348 xBA, .614 xSLG), and he won’t be able to throw many get-me-overs against a Philadelphia Phillies lineup with the fourth-most WAR (5.3) against fastballs.

Jesus Luzardo (2.80 FIP), on the other hand, is lethal. He generates whiffs (90th percentile), and when teams do make contact, it’s usually on the ground (83rd percentile ground ball rate) and hit softly (95th percentile hard-hit rate).

Buy to +105.

Covers COVERS INTEL: Roki Sasaki allows loud contact (11th percentile barrel rate, 11th percentile hard-hit rate), which is a concern against a Philadelphia lineup with the fifth-highest hard-hit rate (35.6%) in the last 20 days.

Phillies vs Dodgers Over/Under pick: Under 8.5 (-107)

Luzardo has limited LA’s projected starting lineup to a .168 AVG and .558 OPS across a large sample size of 107 at-bats. Behind him is a strong bullpen in excellent form, posting a 2.07 SIERA in the last 20 days. 

While Sasaki’s numbers are poor, he can take solace in the fact that Philadelphia has been ice cold, plating no more than four runs in any of its last nine games while sporting a 53 wRC+.

LA has also been lights out in relief (2.96 FIP in the last 20 days), and both pens are well rested.
