The Los Angeles Dodgers racked up 15 runs last night against the Philadelphia Phillies and will try to keep that momentum going when they play game 2 of a 3-game set tonight at Citizens Bank Park. The Dodgers’ Chase Utley was on fire last night against his old club, belting a solo home run and topping that off with a grand slam. Los Angeles sends Scott Kazmir to the mound and he is 9-6, with an ERA of 4.44, and the Dodgers are 4-1 in his last 5 road starts. The rookie Jake Thompson will make his third Big League start and he is 1-1 on the season, with an ERA of 8.68, and has yielded 5 walks in 9-1/3 innings of work. The Dodgers are 5-1 in their last 6 meetings with the Phillies and 4-1 in their last 5 at Citizens Bank Park. The Dodgers’ bats stay hot.
Tonight’s pick:
