The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. It entered Week 16 of the 2024 MLB season a profitable 49-37 on all-top rated MLB picks this season. Dating back to last season, it is on a 24-9 roll on top-rated run-line picks (+1077). Anybody following has seen strong returns.
Now, the model has set its sights on Dodgers vs. Phillies and just locked in its picks and MLB predictions. You can head to SportsLine now to see the model’s picks. Now, here are several MLB odds and betting lines for Phillies vs. Dodgers:
The upcoming break is coming at a great time for the Phillies because they are dealing with several injuries. Bryce Harper (hamstring), Kyle Schwarber (groin) and J.T. Realmuto (knee) have all been out of the lineup recently. The Phillies dropped two of three against the Braves over the weekend and have now lost three out of their last four total.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, took two of three against a strong Milwaukee squad over the weekend. Miller’s season-long numbers aren’t impressive, but it’s been a relatively small sample size. He was sharper last time out, scattering four hits and two earned runs in five innings in a win over the Diamondbacks on July 2. Los Angeles is rarely a money-line underdog, giving bettors an opportunity to get a plus-money return with just a win. See which team to pick here.
The pitching matchup certainly slants in Philly’s favor with Wheeler on the hill. The veteran enters this matchup pitching extremely well, giving up just five earned runs over 19.2 innings in his last three starters. He’s struck out 20 during that span. He’ll also face a lineup that’s missing Mookie Betts (wrist).
While bettors backing Los Angeles this season have seen a negative return on the money line, the Phillies have returned +582 combined on the money line in all games. They’re also +476 at home and +423 when favored, so several betting trends are working in their favor. See which team to pick here.
SportsLine’s model is leaning Over on the run total, projecting 9.6 combined runs. It also says one side of the money line has all the value. You can only get the MLB model’s picks and analysis at SportsLine.
