Coming off a ‘run total’ win last night for its members, FiveStarPick.com will be giving out the ‘run total’ winner of tonight’s game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Los Angeles Dodgers.  Las Vegas sportsbooks have favored the Phillies at -118 on the money line (risk $118 to win $100) while the Dodgers are listed at +108 (risk $100 to win $108.)  The ‘run total’ is set at 7.5.  Vegas obviously is not sure of the outcome of this game, but FiveStarPick.com is certainly confident about the ‘run total’. 

Chad Billingsley 1-1, 8.00 Postseason ERA) will get the start tonight for the Dodgers on 4 days rest.  Billingsly was pulled after 2 1/2 innings when he gave up 8 hits and 8 runs on just 59 pitches.  In tonight’s game he will definately need to watch out for Philly’s left-handed hitters, Howard, Utley and Rollins.

Cole Hamels (2-0, 1.20 Postseason ERA) will get the start tonight for the Phillies.  Hamels has recorded 17 strikeouts and only 3 walks.  He beat the Dodgers in Game 1 after only giving up 6 hits and 2 runs on 105 pitches.

The Phillies are 12-3 in their last 15 games following a day of rest. The Dodgers are 1-10 in their last 11 versus National League East opponents.
