Dodgers vs. Phillies Predictions, Picks & Starting Pitchers: Wrobleski vs. Wheeler, 7/21
Scorched. Earth. There is perhaps no better way to describe what Zack Wheeler is on right now. The starter for the Philadelphia Phillies and major All-Star snub will be featured on TBS tonight to start the entire MLB slate against none other than Shohei Ohtani and the Los Angeles Dodgers. All eyes will be on this matchup for sure, so with that in mind, we’re here to hook you up with our best Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions for tonight.
Better yet, we’ll help fans in ALL 50 STATES (even those in LA without legal sports betting) make some Dodgers vs. Phillies picks after claiming a GUARANTEED Polymarket prediction market promo code bonus.
🔥 Dodgers vs. Phillies Predictions for MLB on TBS, 7/19
Seeing Wheeler toeing the rubber and Shohei Ohtani at the plate opposite him truly is incredible. That said, for even more ways to approach the slate, make sure that you’re also checking in with our MLB expert picks to go beyond just Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions. Of course, even within this game, those household names aren’t the only ones to target.
LA has announced that Ohtani won’t be pitching for a little while, so for tonight, Kyle Schwarber will be looking to extend his league-lead in terms of home runs against Justin Wrobleski. After it was originally scheduled to be a different lefty in Eric Lauer, this one is much more likely to be the focus of Dodgers vs. Phillies picks.
Philly is also extremely interesting with how much they’ve been involved in trade rumors to bolster their lineup with a right-handed bat beyond the big names at the top like Schwarber and Bryce Harper. These are also two teams rumored to have interest in Tarik Skubal, but who wouldn’t want that lefty ace?
That’s a down-the-road topic, so for now, let’s break down a best bet from our Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions for tonight.
🏅 Dodgers vs. Phillies Best Bet: Kyle Schwarber Over 1.5 Hits+Runs+RBI (Trade at Polymarket)
Look, it’s going to be so tempting to take Zack Wheeler’s strikeout prop given the scorched earth tour we mentioned. He headed into the All-Star break with three straight July starts in which he recorded 10, 14, and 10 K’s. That said, it’s still not the focus of our Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions with how star-studded the LA lineup is.
Not only that, but Wheeler also had ideal matchups in those starts, especially with the Cincinnati Reds and Pittsburgh Pirates. On top of all that, Wheeler faced the Dodgers earlier this year already - he recorded just four strikeouts. With all that in mind, we’re going to be targeting the Philly lineup with our Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions rather than their righty ace.
After all, we saw Trea Turner go nuts last night with a double dong and five RBI to help the Phillies put up 10 runs on LA. Bryce Harper and Brandon Marsh also went yard, so you may be able to see where we’re headed - Kyle Schwarber was the only guy who didn’t live up to his expectations. That changes tonight against a lefty.
Since June 1, he’s been better against southpaws compared to those other names, hitting .310 with a .569 slugging and .998 OPS. Whether they grab another win over star-studded LA again or not, the best bet from our Dodgers vs. Phillies predictions is Kyle Schwarber over 1.5 hits+runs+RBI (trade contracts on anything Polymarket).
