Tonight the Phillies are at the Dodgers for the second game in this series. Yesterday, the Dodgers started the series with a 7-2 win. Lowe for the Dodgers got the win, while Floyd for the Phillies got the loss. Tonight’s pitching match up features Ryan Madson for the Phillies pitching against Jae Seo.

The Dodgers are the -108 favorite while the Phillies are sitting at -102. The under/dover is currently at 9.5 -115 under. Over the last 10 games, the Dodgers are scoring 6.2 runs per game, which is almost a full run over their season average so they are trending upward. The Phillies are scoring 5.3 runs per game over their last 10 games. Their season average is 4.92 runs per game so they are playing just above normal.

Jae Seo has a 5.36 ERA and has been sporadic at best. His last outing was a disaster. He went 2 2/3rds innings against Washinton and gave up seven hits, three walks and six runs. His two outings previous were gems against Colorado and San Francisco. 4 of his 10 starts were horrendous—he pitched 3 innings or less. If you are a patterns bettor, the pattern says that this outing should be solid.

Ryan Madson has a 5.72 ERA and his is doing better. He has 7 starts and has given up an average of 2.42 runs per game. He pitched an average of 6 innings per start. He has one start against the Dodgers this year—the first start of the year. He pitched 6 innings and allowed 1 earned run—a home run.

If you are looking for a play, the Phillies look to be it. The under is also a real possibility. Jae Seo is the real question though. If you look at trends, he should have a decent outing. Historically, he pitched 3 times against the Phillies last season. The first outing was a 1 run affair. In the next two, he gave up 4 runs per game.
