Prediction
The Dodgers and Phillies begin what should be a terrific series on Saturday night with both “aces” on the mound. Sanchez has turned into the Phillies No. 1 after Wheeler went down for the season. He has been terrific all season long and Philly won the game he started in L.A. a few weeks ago. He went up against Ohtani in that one and the Dodgers bullpen ruined a great start. That is the problem with L.A. right now – the bullpen. The Phillies have the advantage in that category and the Dodgers are just 1-7 in Ohtani’s last eight starts. It won’t be easy, but I’ll take the Phillies in Game 1.
Pick: Phillies -117
