Looking for a sweep, the Dodgers struck first in Game 3 Wednesday, but things went off the rail from there and the Phillies coasted to an easy 8-2 win thanks to two home runs from Kyle Schwarber.

Game 4 storylines
Dodgers: Glasnow came out in relief in Game 1, but he's scheduled to start in Game 4. Even with the emergence of Roki Sasaki in the bullpen, that's still a high-risk area for the Dodgers, so look to Dave Roberts to keep Glasnow on the mound for as long as possible.
Phillies: Sánchez was close to an ace for the Phillies even before Zack Wheeler went down with injury. He gave up two earned runs in 5 â against the Dodgers in Game 1. Will he be able to keep the advantage in a second start so close?
Game 4 prediction
Cristopher Sánchez deals. The Phillies score enough against Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers' bad bullpen to hand the ball to Jhoan Duran for a two-inning save. The Phillies send it back home for Game 5. Pick: Phillies (+102) -- Matt Snyder
