It's been a tough time for the Philadelphia Phillies after the All-Star break, as the team dropped from the best record in the MLB to the fourth. While they still dominate the National League and the NL East, the last few weeks have been a struggle to win games.
The Phillies dropped Game 1 against the Dodgers even with Aaron Nola on the mound. Their dominating offense has been struggling off last as well and they were unable to do much against Tyler Glasnow.
In hopes of rebounding from Game 1, the Phils will turn in Cristopher Sanchez in Game 2. Sanchez has a 7-7 record with a strong 3.36 ERA. The talented pitcher has been a bright spot for his team and has secured a spot in their top rotation.
The Dodgers seem to come back even after dropping a few games every now and then. Dave Roberts is getting closer to achieving his World Series dream as they look to continue their success. The Dodgers offense has also improved since the All-Star break.
Veteran pitcher Clayton Kershaw will get the nod against their opponent. Kershaw's last outing was a disaster but his legacy with the Dodgers and his potential can never be judged.

Dodgers vs. Phillies Predictions
Kershaw has yet to settle down and pick up the pace after being out for a long time. Going up against a strong offense, especially the Phils, will be tough. The Dodgers' offense might have improved, but they need more than their offense to help them win.
Sanchez has delivered for his team and is expected to last at least six innings. The bullpen is something the Phils need to focus on in this game. With the right support at the plate and dominance on the mound, the Phils should rebound in this game.
Prediction: Philadelphia Phillies -1.5 (-110)
