Aaron Nola may be the hottest pitcher in baseball. He hasn't allowed more than one earned run during each of his last five starts. His ERA during this time frame is 0.76. The Dodgers have to face Nola on very little rest and this is an early start time. Last night's game ended close to 2 a.m. local time due to a 2-hour, 37-minute rain delay. Because of that it wouldn't be surprising if some of the Dodgers' regulars are rested.

Ross Stripling gets the start for LA. Stripling is underrated being with the pitcher-rich Dodgers. He held the powerful Red Sox to one run and four hits in five innings this past Saturday.

The Phillies could be without three regulars. Jay Bruce is on the injured list and Jean Segura and Maikel Franco are both dealing with injuries and didn't start Wednesday.
