Dodgers at Phillies 7/16/19 - MLB Picks & Predictions

In Tuesday night MLB action, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies will continue their series from Citizens Bank Park. Last night, Los Angeles OF Cody Bellinger collected four hits and scored four times during a 16-2 road triumph. SP Clayton Kershaw (8-2) struck out seven batters and allowed just one run over six innings to pick up the win for the Dodgers.

Twenty-four year old righty Walker Buehler (8-1 3.46 ERA) will take the mound for the Dodgers in this matchup. Through 104 innings, Buehler has struck out 113 batters and ranks fourth in the National League with a 0.99 WHIP. The Philadelphia Phillies have won 28 of their 48 home games, but are a squad that is headed in the wrong direction. On Monday, SP Zach Eflin was tagged with nine hits and seven earned runs in six innings of work. Rhys Hoskins tripled and scored a run for the Phillies, who are now just two games above .500 overall.

Hard-throwing righty Vince Velasquez (2-5 4.63 ERA) will make his 11th start of the season for the Phillies. Last time out, Velasquez allowed two runs in five innings during a 7-2 road victory against the Mets.
