Dodgers vs Phillies Betting Odds July 23

Phillies Have Been Reliable Wager at Home Lately

The Philadelphia Phillies continue their quest for the NL East Division crown when they open a three-game series with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Phillies own a small one-game lead over the Braves in their division but should feel confident heading into a series with the surging Dodgers at home. Philadelphia owns the best home record in the National League at 32-17 SU in 49 games this season and is 8-2 SU in its last 10 games at Citizens Bank Park. Despite the success at home field, the Phillies opened at +130 dogs to get the victory.

SHARK BITES
  • The Phillies are 8-2 SU in last 10 games at home.
  • The Dodgers are 9-2 SU in last 11 games with Ross Stripling starting.
  • The UNDER has hit in 10 of the Phillies’ last 13 games.

Pitching Matchup May Favor the Dodgers

Although he took the loss in the 2018 All-Star Game, Ross Stripling may be the most consistent pitcher for the Dodgers this season. Stripling owns an excellent 2.08 ERA in 2018 and the Dodgers are 9-2 SU and 7-4 ATS in his last 11 starts. Stripling shut this lineup down on May 30 by only allowing one earned run on four hits and his ERA is microscopic in road starts this season (1.81). When you factor in that the Dodgers are also 5-2 SU in his last seven road starts, you can see why oddsmakers favor Los Angeles in this tilt.

That being said, the Phillies are no slouches when Zach Eflin takes the mound lately as they’ve won six of their last seven games when the righty gets the nod. Eflin sports a 2.59 ERA at home this season which should help a Phillies squad that owns the best home record in the National League. However, when he faces the Dodgers, he’s been a bit of trainwreck as he owns a 9.00 ERA in three career starts and has given up seven home runs in 14 innings. When he faced Los Angeles at the end of May, he allowed two homers and seven hits in a losing effort so bettors should take note of Eflin’s track record against the NL West squad.

Citizens Bank Park Has Been Winning Environment for Phillies

The Phillies may own a 23-26 record on the road this season but they’ve been excellent in Philadelphia with a 32-17 SU record in 49 home games this season, which is the best home record in the National League. One of the reasons for their success has been their starting rotation, which owns a 3.75 ERA and ranks seventh in MLB but it’s the Phillies bullpen that has made sure not to give away games as they rank fifth in the majors with only five blown saves this season. If bettors are not high on Philadelphia in this matchup, it shouldn’t be because of who's on the mound.

Totals Bettors Should Eye The UNDER

The total opened at 8.5 and trends are pointing to an UNDER in this tilt. The UNDER has hit in 10 of the Phillies’ last 13 games at home with an average combined score of 8.3 runs per game. When you factor in that the UNDER has hit in six of Zach Eflin’s last seven starts with an average combined score of 6.8 runs per game, it’s setting up to be a low-scoring affair in the City of Brotherly Love.
