Team Analysis

Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies’ 4-1 record across their last 5 games lays bare a team in rhythm, averaging 6.2 runs per contest. That scoring pace has been fueled by Kyle Schwarber’s relentless power and Bryce Harper’s ability to extend innings. On the road, the club has maintained a competitive split, showing they can translate offense into results even without home-field advantage.

Across the last 10 games, Philadelphia Phillies’ 8-2 record paired with a 6.0 RPG average confirms a lineup that is firing consistently. The ability to stack runs early and sustain pressure gives them a decisive betting edge, even against elite competition. With Trea Turner sidelined, Schwarber and Harper have stepped up to keep the offense dynamic, making this unit reliable for bettors.

  • Batting Average: 0.261
  • Total Runs Scored: 734
  • Home Runs: 194
  • OBP: 0.331
  • SLG: 0.432
  • OPS: 0.763
  • ERA: 3.83
  • WHIP: 1.24

Away Record: 39-37 • Home Record: 51-24
Last 5 Games: 4-1 (6.2 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 8-2 (6.0 RPG)


Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers’ 3-2 record across their last 5 games comes with an impressive 7.6 RPG, highlighting offensive bursts led by Shohei Ohtani. While they’ve been productive at the plate, inconsistency in results keeps them from fully capitalizing on those numbers. Playing at home, they’ve been strong overall, but recent mixed results show vulnerability when opponents sustain scoring pressure.

Over the last 10 games, the Dodgers are 6-4 with a 5.7 RPG average, reflecting steady but less dominant form compared to Philadelphia Phillies’ surge. Freddie Freeman’s reliability and Andy Pages’ balanced production keep the lineup competitive, but the team has given up runs at a pace that offsets offensive output. That defensive leak is a key reason the Phillies hold the betting edge in this matchup.

  • Batting Average: 0.254
  • Total Runs Scored: 767
  • Home Runs: 220
  • OBP: 0.33
  • SLG: 0.439
  • OPS: 0.769
  • ERA: 4.04
  • WHIP: 1.27

Away Record: 36-39 • Home Record: 48-27
Last 5 Games: 3-2 (7.6 RPG)
Last 10 Games: 6-4 (5.7 RPG)

Over/Under Trends

Los Angeles Dodgers’ last 10 games have averaged 8.8 combined runs, with 5 games clearing the same number of 7.5.

Moneyline Betting Prediction

The Phillies’ 8-2 surge over their last 10 games, combined with their 3-1 edge in recent head-to-head matchups, makes them the superior side against a Dodgers team that has been less consistent. With Schwarber and Harper driving an offense averaging over six runs during this stretch, Philadelphia Phillies’ momentum and scoring efficiency position them as the sharper moneyline play.

The Philadelphia Phillies at +118 check enough boxes to be the value side.

Over/Under Prediction

Last five form shows the Los Angeles Dodgers at 7.6 RPG and the Philadelphia Phillies at 6.2, giving context for the number.

These teams are combining for 13.8 runs per game recently — above the posted total of 7.5. That points toward the Over 7.5.
