Source?

 

[mez 0ne]

Bench: Dodgers > Phils

Pen: Dodgers > Phils

Starters: Phillies > Dodgers

Lineup: Phillies > Dodgers

Dodgers are better prepared for this series with all those lefties this time around. I hope the Dodgers win but I think it will be the same ol' tune aslast season.

Phils don't even need a lights out pen they just come backand win games late anyways.

 

[never seen b4]

Phillies in 5
