The Philadelphia Phillies will go against the Los Angeles Dodgers in MLB action in Dodger Stadium, CA, on Tuesday, May 2, 2023, at 10:10 PM ET.

The Philadelphia Phillies are back on track this year after a sluggish start.

The Houston Astros, who defeated the defending MLB vice-champions in the 2022 World Series, were defeated in one of the four consecutive sets that the team won.

At Houston’s Minute Maid Park, the Phillies won two of the three games, snapping a four-game winning run with a 4-3 loss in the finale on Sunday.

The Phillies had a 4-2 record last week and batted .252/.290/.406 for 22 runs scored. They are currently scoring 4.34 runs per game, ranking 18th in the majors, thanks to a great triple-slash of .272/.327/.444.

Tuesday’s game in Los Angeles will feature left-hander Matt Strahm, 31, who is 2-2 with a dazzling 2.31 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and 32/7 K/BB ratio in five starts and one bullpen appearance (23.1 innings thrown) so far this year.

Last Thursday, he ended a two-game losing run by tossing 5.1 scoreless frames in a 1-0 victory over the Seattle Mariners at home.

Strahm’s anticipated slugging percentage has him in the 71st percentile, while his hard-hit percentage and barrel percentage have him in the 24th and 28th percentiles, respectively.

The total went UNDER in 4 of Philadelphia’s last 5 matches.
The Philadelphia Phillies are 7-3 SU in their last 10 matches.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Predictions 5/2/2023

In their matchup against Philadelphia on Monday, the Los Angeles Dodgers were going for their fourth straight win.

They recovered from two straight defeats against the Pittsburgh Pirates (8-1 and 6-2) by sweeping a three-game home series against the St. Louis Cardinals over the weekend (7-3, 1-0, and 6-3).

The Dodgers are scoring 5.03 runs per game (9th in MLB) while hitting .224/.320/.433. In the past seven days and 191 at-bats, they batted just .204/.294/.325 with four home runs and 11 doubles.

On the other hand, the Dodgers are giving up 4.45 runs per game, which ranks them 14th, while also sporting a 4.43 ERA, which ranks 18th, and a 1.28 WHIP, which ranks 13th.

In his six starts (32.2 IP), Julio Urias, a 26-year-old left-hander, is 3-3 with a 4.41 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 35/7 K/BB ratio this year.

He pitched nine innings in each of his last two starts, giving up 11 earned runs on 14 hits and four walks. In terms of anticipated slugging percentage and barrel percentage, Urias is ranked in the 49th and 63rd percentiles, respectively.

The total went OVER in 8 of the LA Dodgers’ last 10 matches.
The LA Dodgers are 4-1 SU in their last 5 matches.
The total went OVER in 6 of the LA Dodgers’ last 8 matches against Philadelphia.

Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers. The MLB pick for this game is the Philadelphia Phillies.

The present Dodgers are 13-for-42 with a few home runs against Matt Strahm, but in 2023, they have an appalling 71 OPS+ against left-handed pitchers.

The Phillies, on the other hand, have a 107 OPS+ this year versus Southpaws. With two home runs against Julio Urias, they are 13-for-53, while Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, and Alec Bohm are all 3-for-8.

Julio Urias is not in his best physical condition. His four-seamer now has a plus-1 run value compared to a minus-16 run value in 2022.

On paper, the Phillies should be in this position, but it’s difficult to believe Matt Strahm. The Phillies will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
