LAD vs PHP Dream11 Match Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers host the Philadelphia Phillies Wednesday for the second game of their three-game mini-series at the Dodger Stadium. The Major League Baseball regular season match is scheduled to start at 07:40 AM, June 16, Wednesday morning (IST). The first game of this series was won by the Dodgers. Smith and Taylor led the offensive charts for the Dodgers, while some strong pitching also helped the cause for the team against a Phillies team that arrived in game-1 high on confidence. The Phillies were on a four-game winning run before starting the three-game tilt against the Dodgers, but the 1-3 defeat means, they will have to start again. With the result, the Dodgers their season record to 40-26. They are second in NL West, only one game behind leader San Francisco Giants (41-25). The Phillies, meanwhile, are even on the season at 32-32. They are also second in NL East but sit four games behind New York Mets (33-25).

Philadelphia Phillies remain strong on the mound. They are one of the best pitching teams in Major League Baseball this season. On top of that, it’s the health of their roster. They are one of the healthiest teams in the league at the moment, and that should allow the head coach to rotate better in a bid to keep the players healthy and less fatigued. But the last game against the Dodgers also showed that there is a need to do better when it comes to batting. Dodgers had difficulty in scoring runs, but they offset that by controlling the Phillies’ batters. We think the Dodgers are likely to get the win here as well.
