The Phillies have been playing their best ball of the season of late while the Dodgers have simply been great all year. This series could easily be a preview of the National League Championship Series in October. The Dodgers look to have the edge on Saturday considering Kuroda is on the mound. He is 1-1 on the season with a 2.53 ERA. Kuroda has only made two starts this season because of injury but he looked good in his return on Monday as he gave up just two runs in five innings against Arizona. Last year Kuroda pitched very well in the playoffs against the Phillies, going eight innings and allowing only two runs.

Blanton has won his last three starts for the Phillies. He allowed three runs on six hits in seven innings against the Padres last time out. Blanton is 3-1 on the road this season and he is 6-1 on the road in his last 12 starts. While Blanton’s ERA is high, the Phillies win when he is on the mound. They are 16-7 in his 23 starts with the team.
