Phillies vs Dodgers MLB Betting Preview, Pick
I covered Roki Sasaki's last start against the Brewers. The Dodgers were mightily undervalued with Sasaki on the road as his progression had not been accurately priced, and it still is not heading into his outing tonight.
Sasaki has always made massive improvements in command, and it has allowed his above-average Stuff+ rating of 104 to become apparent over his last three starts.
Just as a comparison, Sasaki's Location+ was no higher than 99 in his first four starts of the year. However, his lowest Location+ over his last three starts is 102. In fact, his last outing against Milwaukee was his best of the season despite the box score not looking all too impressive as he posted a Stuff+ of 110 and a season-high Location+ of 113.
So, what does all this mean for this outing? It points to another stellar outing from Sasaki, where his vastly improved command will allow him to work ahead of a Phillies lineup that is primed to strikeout quite a bit against Sasaki.
The Phillies have the third-highest chase rate against right-handed pitching in the majors, and they have five batters in their lineup with below-average swinging strike rates.
Philadelphia is clearly susceptible to whiffing, and Sasaki's stuff is in the best form we've seen it, which makes backing him to go over his strikeout prop tonight the strongest angle to take.
Pick: Roki Sasaki Over 4.5 Strikeouts (-140, bet365)
