Starting pitchers
Caleb Ferguson vs. Taijuan Walker
Ferguson will be making his first start and his 27th appearance of the season. The lefty has struggled of late, allowing at least one run in four of his last five outings, but he’ll likely only be called upon to work an inning or two on Sunday. Ferguson will likely give way to a bulk man like Matt Andriese.
Walker will start his 14th game of the season. He had a favorable matchup his last time out against the Detroit Tigers and took full advantage. Walker pitched seven shutout innings allowing only two hits. He walked three and struck out eight but earned the win as the Phillies notched a 1-0 win.
Over/Under pick
L.A. has scored at least four runs in five straight games. Philly scored three or fewer runs in three of its last four games. The bullpen day for the Dodgers makes it tough to figure out how the Phillies will fare here, but they have a tough lineup despite their lack of consistent run production. The Dodgers have a good matchup against Walker, so the over should hit.
Pick: Over 10.5
Moneyline pick
Los Angeles has struggled in their last 10 games, going 4-6 in that span. Philadelphia saw its six-game win streak come to an end. Walker has been inconsistent, and if the Dodgers can have decent outings from their bullpen, the lineup should help spark a win to head into next week with momentum.
Pick: Dodgers
