Philadelphia at Los Angeles

Philadelphia is a long way from home playing its fifth consecutive road contest. The Phillies have lost the last two on the trip surrendering 17 runs. The pitching has slipped to 21st in team ERA (4.66) and 25th in the bullpen (4.66), while the offense is 15th in runs scored. The Phillies are 13-22 on the road after losing two of three. Starter Matt Strahm's ERA is almost two runs higher on the road (3.52 ERA), which was the case last year when he had a 4.74 ERA away from home. He faces a talented Los Angeles offense that is 12th in on-base percentage on a 9-4 run. Starter Julio Urias comes off two poor outings on the road but has a 2.04 ERA at Dodger Stadium. Last year, Urias has a 2.43 ERA at home holding batters to a .183 average. The Dodgers are 47-19 against an NL starter with a WHIP of 1.250 or better, plus 18-3 at home as a favorite of -150 or less.
