Prediction published on 7/21/26, 10:29 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 7/21/26 at 10:48 PM in MLB Picks

The Dodgers, having lost the first game of their series against the Phillies, also relinquished the best record in MLB to the Brewers, but the two-time champions, after winning a blockbuster series against the Yankees, are now playing an equally unmissable one against the Phillies, and Roberts' team took the second game of the series 2-1.

Philadelphia won the first game of the series 10-7; it was a special game in which Trea Turner hit two home runs to reach 200 in his career. The NL All-Star struck out Sánchez; he even struck out Ohtani on three pitches, and they held the Japanese superstar to 0-for-4. It was Mookie Betts who, on Monday, bravely challenged the Dodgers by hitting two home runs, the 33rd multi-homer game of his illustrious career. That victory also marks the Phillies' 1,000th home win since moving to Citizens Bank Park in 2004.

Game 2 was a pitching duel, but Max Muncy certainly knows how to deliver clutch home runs; he recently hit one off Cole at Yankee Stadium and again on Tuesday with a home run to center field. The Dodgers' third baseman contributed to the close 2-1 victory.
