Premier matchup in baseball on Monday is in LA at night. The Dodgers hosting the Phillies top two records in the National League. Now, last time we saw them face each other, the Phillies swept the blue crew in Philly. This game obviously Chavez Ravine. Dodgers, $1 .30 home favorites. You’re over under of eight. Couple interesting righties on the bump. Aaron Nola goes for Philly and Tyler Glasnow goes for the Dodgers.
Now, not sure what to, you know, how to kind decipher this, but Glasnow’s ERA at night is four, his date side ERA around two. Now, I think it’s small sample size, things like that, but you know, it’s his first year with the team, things to keep in mind, all things considered, but Glasnow has been great. And so has Nola for most of the year, both these guys for most of the year, but I like the under here. Remember Dodgers lineup does not have Mookie Betts. And then Freddie Freeman has been away from the team for a little bit. Now he may return this week.
But I don’t think it’s going to be for Monday’s game. So I think no Freeman and no bets. It’s a much different lineup. Yeah, you have Botani and you have some of the other big bats, the Oscar Hernandez, Gavin Lux, but it’s just not the same with those two. Now, Philly has come back to Earth a little bit. Yankees took care of business with them not a week ago. And so while I am impressed with this Phillies lineup and I believe in them long term, they’ve been cool a little bit. And I think that it’s a big number, all things considered.
I’ll go under eight for this high profile matchup.
