Southpaw Ranger Suarez (1-2, 5.47 ERA) will start Friday. Suarez has struggled at home in two starts this season, with an 11.57 ERA. The Dodgers have mashed lefties with a .326 batting average and a .413 on-base percentage over their last 10 games. They have also scored an average of 6.5 runs per game over the last 10 contests and have hit more home runs than any other team in MLB over that time span.

The Phillies also have a favored matchup here going up against Grove who does not tend to go deep into games and a Dodgers bullpen that has struggled, posting a 5.60 ERA in the last 10 games. Michael Grove is 0-2 with an 8.14 ERA and in 12 career games he is 1-2 with a 6.08 ERA. The Phillies' offense is seventh in MLB in home runs over their last seven contest and averaging 4.2 runs per game and should do damage here. I will take the over.
