img6:00 PM Eastern

Philadelphia has won 10 of the past 13 meetings and six of seven at home against Los Angeles. The Dodgers are 0-5 in Shohei Ohtani's past five road starts and 1-7 in his past eight starts overall. Philadelphia has won Christopher Sanchez's past five Saturday starts, and the Phillies are 5-0-1 OVER his past six outings against teams with winning records. The Phillies have won 15 of 19 home games. Sanchez is 13-5 with a 2.50 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP this season. He has allowed no more than one run in four of his past five starts. Sanchez is 6-0 with a 1.94 ERA at home in 2025, and he gave up just six runs in 32 2/3 innings in September. The Dodgers have lost seven of Ohtani's eight starts overall, primarily due to the failures of their shaky bullpen. The OVER is 4-0-1 in Sanchez's past five starts in the first game of a series, and the Dodgers soared OVER both games against Cincinnati. Take the Phillies and the OVER.
