The Phillies want to avoid a repeat of last game's result - a 4-2 loss to Cardinals - when they host the Dodgers on Friday. They hope Gavin Floyd can be the skid-stopper for them.
The Dodgers start Brett Tomko, who will be making his season debut for Los Angeles.
Los Angeles brings a 1-2 overall mark (0-0 in the division) into this game versus a Philadelphia team carrying a 0-3 record.
The Dodgers come in as a slight road dog and look to improve on their 1-2 mark. The Phillies, who sit as -114 favorites, will try to take the cash from dog bettors, while totals bettors see the line opened at 10.
The Dodgers come off a 9-8 loss against the Braves, a game where they were 115 favorites. The game went over the closing total of 8.
Charlie Manuel's troops were at home against the Cardinals last game and came away with a 4-2 loss, a game that went under 11. Oddsmakers had them as underdogs.
The Phillies pitching staff isn't known for keeping hitters off the basepaths. Their hits-allowed-per-game ratio is in the bottom three of the National League.
Some trends to consider:
Los Angeles is 1-6-1 OU in its last 8 away
Los Angeles is 4-18-0 SU in its last 22 games after scoring 7 to 9 runs
Los Angeles is 3-6-0 OU in its last 9 games
Philadelphia is 10-5-0 SU in its last 15 games after scoring 1 to 3 runs
