Phillies are a high quality team with both strong starting pitching (even minus Wheeler) and some dangerous hitters in the lineup.
Philadelphia is a very tough stadium to play in during the postseason.
On the other hand, Dodgers still have the better lineup (even sans Will Smith), and Phillies have had the same longstanding postseason issues as the Dodgers in recent years.
Maybe look at the first 5 innings under, as Ohtani and Sanchez are both pitching very well, and I could see a low scoring game in the early goings. But don't fire on this because I haven't examined it much.
