The Dodgers vs. Phillies Game 3 NLCS 2009 MLB Playoff Picks MLB betting odds moneyline is Philadelphia -170 at Bodog.com.
Pitching: Philadelphia will send out their stud left-hander Cliff Lee (14-13, 3.22) to face L.A right-hander Hiroki Kuroda (8-7, 3.76). Kuroda could be a little rusty after missing the NLDS with a neck strain but in his only outing against Philly he was impressive throwing 6.0 innings for no runs and 2 hits. The 2008 AL Cy Young winner Cliff Lee has been incredibly tough to hit in the postseason and he could be the best arm to back in the MLB postseason. Kuroda usually has to rely on his bullpen with his pitch limit around 90 but L.A’s pen is far stronger than Philadelphia’s. Even with the Phillies bullpen woes they have a moderate advantage here.

Lineup: Lineup: It will be Dodgers depth against the Phillies power. Philadelphia is the equivalent of a one-punch KO artist in boxing with their ability to change the dynamics of a ball game with one swing of the bat. The Dodgers have a lineup stacked with players that know how to get on base and a few power hitter of their own. L.A bomber Manny Ramirez’s bat has gone cold however and that gives the Phillies the slight edge here.
