The Dodgers have split the first two games of this home series against the Phillies, but they are a heavy favorite in tonight's Game 3 with their ace on the mound. We've seen plenty of runs scored in this series so far, but tonight's game looks like it could be a pitcher's duel.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Clayton Kershaw (5-6, 3.08 ERA) allowed just one run on five hits over seven innings in a 2-1 home loss to the Mets his last time out. While he has struggled for much of the season, his numbers at home remain impressive. He's 4-2 with a 2.18 ERA in eight starts at Chavez Ravine. The Phillies counter with rookie Adam Morgan, who has looked impressive in both his two big league starts.

2. Previous History - The Phillies have won six of the last 10 meetings in this series outright, while the Dodgers are just 2-3 on this current home stand.

3. X-Factor - The Dodgers have really struggled against left-handers this season, ranking 25th in the majors in runs scored, batting just .243 against southpaws.

Selection: This is a play on the Phillies@Dodgers to go UNDER the total (10*)
