LA Dodgers (63-38) at Philadelphia Phillies (56-45) — Game Preview
The LA Dodgers arrive at Citizens Bank Park on July 21, 2026 holding a 63-38 record that leaves them a half-game back in the National League race, while the Philadelphia Phillies sit 56-45 and three games behind in the NL East.
Los Angeles carries the sharper pitching staff by team ERA, working to a 3.56 mark compared to Philadelphia’s 4.24, a gap that shows up early against a Phillies lineup still piecing together its bullpen. Shohei Ohtani is hitting .287 with 22 home runs and 60 RBIs as the Dodgers’ primary threat at designated hitter, and from center field Andy Pages leads Los Angeles with 68 RBIs, eight ahead of Ohtani’s total, while adding 17 home runs and a .269 average.
Freddie Freeman’s .285 average and 51 RBIs give the Dodgers a steady third bat at first base, rounded out by a .369 on-base percentage and a .474 slugging mark. Philadelphia counters with Brandon Marsh, whose .293 average leads the Phillies’ regulars, well ahead of Kyle Schwarber’s .251, and comes with 16 home runs and 47 RBIs from left field.
Schwarber has produced 33 home runs and 61 RBIs from the designated-hitter spot, the most power in the Phillies order and well ahead of Bryce Harper’s 21 home runs, while Harper himself is hitting .258 with 60 RBIs at first base. Philadelphia is also working through a thin bullpen, with Brad Keller, Tanner Banks and Lou Trivino all on the 15-day injured list.

Players to Watch: LA Dodgers vs. Philadelphia Phillies
LA Dodgers
Shohei Ohtani — DH. Ohtani is hitting .287 with 22 home runs and 60 RBIs as the Dodgers’ primary threat at designated hitter. His .396 on-base percentage pairs with a .534 slugging mark, giving Los Angeles one of its most complete lines in the middle of the order.
Andy Pages — CF. From center field, Pages leads the Dodgers with 68 RBIs, eight ahead of Ohtani’s 60, while adding 17 home runs and a .269 average. He has become a consistent run producer even in a season where the average has trailed his power numbers.
Freddie Freeman — 1B. Freeman’s .285 average and 51 RBIs give Los Angeles a steady third bat at first base. A .369 on-base percentage and a .474 slugging mark round out a profile built on contact as much as power.
Philadelphia Phillies
Brandon Marsh — LF. Marsh’s .293 average leads Philadelphia’s regulars, well ahead of Schwarber’s .251, and comes with 16 home runs and 47 RBIs from left field. His .332 on-base percentage and .482 slugging mark make him a rare combination of contact and pop in the Phillies outfield.
Kyle Schwarber — DH. Schwarber has produced 33 home runs and 61 RBIs from the designated-hitter spot, the most power in the Phillies order and well ahead of Harper’s 21 home runs, while hitting .251 overall. He remains the biggest threat in the Philadelphia lineup any time he steps into the box.
Bryce Harper — 1B. At first base, Harper is hitting .258 with 21 home runs and 60 RBIs, and his .365 on-base percentage and .497 slugging mark round out one of the more balanced lines in the Philadelphia lineup.
