Philadelphia at Los Angeles

There is no doubt that the pitching and talent-rich Dodgers have a lot more to work with than the Phillies. However, that has translated to just a 2.5 game difference between these teams to start the season. Kyle Kendrick has failed to win in seven consecutive starts, his longest career drought, but the numbers are good to start the season as he owns a 3.60 ERA. Dan Haren is 3-0 to start the season, but the last two have come against Arizona - the worst team in baseball to start the season. He has had no such success against the Phillies, owning a career mark of 1-4 with a 5.09 ERA. The Phillies have been .500 on the road to start the season and own wins in four of their last five vs. a winning team. The Dodgers are an ugly 3-11 in their last 14 at home to a total of 7 to 8.5. Go with Philadelphia.
