The Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Philadelphia Phillies in the second game of a three-game set. The Dodgers took Game 1, 4-1. The Dodgers have won six straight heading into today's action. The Phillies have lost four out of the last five. The Dodgers will send Mitch White to the mound. He has made appearances in five games and this will be his first start. He has posted a 0-1 record with a 4.82 ERA and a !,18 WHIP. They will hope to get a couple of quality innings out of White and then turn it over to the pen. The Dodgers have the best pitching staff in baseball with their team ERA of 2.85 and WHIP at 1.08 both leading the league. The Phillies will counter with Aaron Nola taking the mound. Nola is 1-4 with an ERA of 3.64 this season. As a team, they rank 21st in team ERA at 3.91, and 17th in WHIP at 1.25.

Philadelphia is 2-6 in the last eight at home while Los Angeles is 72-29 in the last 101 and 126-55 in the last 181 against a team with a losing record
Nola has allowed 23 hits and 11 runs in 25 ⅓ innings over the last four starts which resulted in four losses. The Dodgers have the best pitching staff in baseball so far, and they have scored the most runs of any team this season. Nola hasn't pitched well this season and they could be missing thier big bat in Harper once again. Even though the Dodgers pitcher is making his first start I still like them to come out on top.

Play on the LA DODGERS. This is a 6* play.
