On Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers brought their premium trade deadline acquisition into Philadelphia (and a familiar face to boot) and shut down the red-hot Phils, shaking off a rain delay in the process.
Wednesday, it’ll be Philly’s turn to deal their deadline ace in LA’s direction, trying to split a miniature two-game set.
The Phillies will toss Kyle Gibson back into the pennant race fire after he acquitted himself so well against the Mets over the weekend.
The Dodgers? Well, they have to hope their ex-standout starter has enough juice in the tank to match zeroes with Gibson. After the Giants’ wild walk-off win Tuesday night — which feels like their millionth of the season — there’s still no margin for error.

Dodgers vs Phillies Odds Today
According to our friends at WynnBET, the Dodgers are favored on the moneyline at -140 (bet $140 to win $100), while the Phillies check in at +120 (bet $100 to win $120).

The over/under for this one sits at 9.5, and the under would’ve hit last night, even with the rain delay that forced both Max Scherzer and Aaron Nola out of the contest. In this one, the Over is -125 and the Under sits at +104.
Dodgers Pitcher Today
The Dodgers will go with David Price on the mound in this contest, who’s 4-1 with a 3.53 ERA. The 35-year-old Price has performed well this year, and could prove valuable down the stretch, but he hasn’t managed to provide the type of length Dave Roberts has been hoping for. 5.2 is his season-high, innings-wise, and he’s coming off a 5.1-inning outing in a loss to the Angels.
How’s the bullpen? Not wonderful. Kenley Jansen got the night off Tuesday, but Brusdar Graterol, Blake Treinen and Corey Knebel, in his return from the 60-Day IL, all worked.
Dodgers Starting Lineup
Watch this space! The lineup will be posted later today.
Mookie Betts Injury
Mookie Betts is set to hit the IL on Wednesday after experiencing a hip issue, something Phillies fans are surely a little enthusiastic about.
Dodgers vs Phillies Prediction Today
The Philadelphia Phillies entered this series barking, and they’ll leave it whimpering. On Tuesday, the Phils got a taste of what the preeminent contender in the National League really looks like, and they seemed taken aback. The mastery continues on Wednesday; 6-2 Dodgers, in a bit of a seamless snooze.
