T.M. Selection: LA Dodgers.

I like the LA Dodgers to win this game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. The Dodgers have looked really good lately winning 7 games in a row now. They swept the Diamondbacks in 4 games and they have won the 1st 2 games of this series against the Phillies. I think they are going to be looking for the sweep here and I expect them to still have a bad taste in their mouths from their previous series with the Phillies. They just saw the Phillies about a week ago and they lost 3/4 games to them in their own ballpark, only winning the final game of that series. That win started the 7 game run they are on at the moment though and they will be looking to sweep the Phillies in this last game, getting their revenge for that other series a week ago. The Phillies haven't really looked that great lately with 3 losses in a row and they went on to lose their previous series to the Padres after beating the Dodgers in that series. They have been slipping in those games lately and I think they are going to continue to slip in this game too. Zach Eflin (1-3, 3.90 ERA) is up for the Phillies here and he hasn't had a terrible year but he hasn't been great either. He just pitched a good game only giving up 1 run in 6 innings but he gave up 5 runs in his start before that and has been very up and down with his starts all year. Tony Gonsolin (4-0, 1.64 ERA) is up for the Dodgers here and he has been really consistent with his pitching this year, surprisingly being 1 of the best pitchers the Dodgers have to offer on their rotation here. He hasn't had a bad start this year with not 1 game where he gave up more than 2 runs in it. The team has also won a majority of their games when he starts and I think that is going to continue when he pitches another great game here. I like the Dodgers to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 4-1 Dodgers.
