My Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions expect another low-scoring game between these NL powerhouses in our best MLB picks on Sunday, April 6.

Dodgers vs Phillies prediction

My Dodgers vs Phillies best bet: Under 7.5 (-125 at Caesars)

The first two games of this series were close, low-scoring affairs, and today's clash should be no different. The Philadelphia Phillies took the series opener 3-2 on Friday night before a 3-1 victory for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday.

We’re in for a pitchers’ duel this afternoon as Tyler Glasnow and Cristopher Sanchez take the hill.

Glasnow’s issue has always been battling injuries, but he looks completely healthy right now. 

He threw five shutout innings against the Braves with eight strikeouts, three walks, and two hits allowed in his first start. He also allowed just three runs over six innings to the Phillies last August.

Meanwhile, Sanchez has quietly been a rock in the Phillies' rotation. 

He went 11-9 with a 3.32 ERA last season and started this year with 5 1/3 innings of one-run ball against the Rockies. He also fared well against the Dodgers last year, yielding one earned run over six innings in a 6-2 win last August.

Under 7.5

Tyler Glasnow Over 7.5 strikeouts

Max Keplper Over 0.5 hits

Glasnow got things started last week with eight punchouts in just five innings against the Braves. He had nine strikeouts in six innings last year against the Phillies and we're getting plus odds for him to get eight Ks this afternoon.

Max Kepler wasn’t the flashiest addition in the offseason, but it was a needed one for the Phillies. He’s a perfect 3-for-3 against Glasnow in his career and is a good leg to close out this parlay.
