Philadelphia Phillies vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction, Odds and NLDS Game 4 Picks for Today, 10/09/25

In this game, we will see the Philadelphia Phillies take on the Los Angeles Dodgers for Game 4 of the National League Division Series. Currently, the Dodgers lead the series 2-1 with hopes of ending it at home today. On the mound, we have Cristopher Sanchez of the Phillies and Tyler Glasnow of the Dodgers. Both of these pitchers made an appearance in the first game of this series. Sanchez pitched 5.2 innings, giving up 4 hits and 2 runs. That marks his best start against the Dodgers this season. In his 2 previous starts against the Dodgers, he pitched 12.2 innings, giving up 13 hits and 8 earned runs. These are numbers that we are not used to seeing out of Sanchez. On the season, he has a 2.50 ERA with a 13-5 record. The issue is that the Dodgers seem to be his kryptonite and that is not a good sign, considering the Dodgers are batting .279 with 29 runs over their 5 playoff games. I have a feeling it may be another struggle for Sanchez.

For the Dodgers, Glasnow will take the mound. Glasnow appeared in Game 1 of the series but only for 1.2 innings, where he gave up 2 hits and no earned runs. I imagine the idea for today is that Glasnow will go much deeper into the game, especially considering the Dodgers’ bullpen has given up 7 runs over the past 2 games. Luckily for LA, Glasnow has given up 1 or fewer runs in 4 of his last 5 starts. He pitched once early in the season against the Phillies, where he only played for 2 innings while giving up 5 runs on 2 hits. Walks have been a concern for Glasnow all year, but I have a feeling he will turn it on and control the strike zone for this pressure-filled game. Overall, I struggle to trust Sanchez more than Glasnow and find it hard to fade the Dodgers at home with the series on the line. I am taking the Dodgers to get the win and end the series here.
