A year ago at this time, the Phillies held a comfortable lead in the NL East, while the Dodgers were struggling to stay out of the basement of the NL West. What a difference a year makes.

With a lengthy injury list, including stars Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and now Roy Halladay, the Phillies can't seem to catch a break. The Dodgers haven't been safe from the injury bug, as Matt Kemp can't seem to stay healthy.

The series starts with a battle of lefties when Cliff Lee, who is somehow 0-2 in eight starts with a 3.00 ERA and 54 strikeouts goes against Clayton Kershaw, who is 4-3 with a 2.42 ERA and 64 strikeouts.

These two teams still have great MLB futures at the Bovada Sportsbook. Philly's odds are set at 14/1 while the Dodgers hold better odds at 10/1. Think that's how it will play out? Go to Bovada and prove it now.
