Phillies Preview

Scenic Dodgers Stadium will play host to a Wednesday night MLB playoff matchup between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Be ready for the baseball season with all of our MLB predictions. The second-seeded Phillies (0-2) are a game above .500 on the road and have missed the presence of SP Zach Wheeler, who was lost for the season with a blood clot in his shoulder. In Game Two, Philadelphia OF Nick Castellanos’ two-run double in the ninth inning was not enough during a 4-3 home loss versus Los Angeles.

Thirty-two year old righty Aaron Nola (5-10 6.01 ERA) struggled during the regular season, but is a proven postseason commodity for the Phillies. Over the last three years, Nola has started ten playoff games and went 5-4 with a 4.02 ERA to go along with a 1.17 WHIP.

Dodgers Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers are riding a nine-game winning streak and are in search of their third World Series title in the last six years. During Monday’s road victory, pinch-hitter Will Smith delivered a two-run single to stake Los Angeles to a 3-0 lead in the seventh inning. SP Blake Snell (2-0) fanned nine batters across six shutout frames to earn the win for the Dodgers.

Los Angeles skipper Dave Roberts will give the nod to talented right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (12-8 2.49 ERA) in Game Three. Through 173 plus innings, Yamamoto retired 201 batters by strikes and ranked sixth in the majors with a 0.99 WHIP.
