Dodgers bullpen implodes again in 9-6 loss vs. Phillies | True Blue LA

Dodgers bullpen collapse costs them a 9-6 defeat to the Phillies after a sharp start from their rotation and a big late surge by Philadelphia. Ohtani carried the offense early and joined a select club with 50 homers in consecutive seasons, while the Dodgers briefly tied it before a six-run sixth swung the momentum to Philly. The comeback featured Harper’s hustle, Marsh’s key homer, and a late rally that extended LA’s home skid to five against the Phillies.

With Snell lined up to finish the series against Luzardo, LA looks foranswers as the Padres pace- chase tightens in the division. This game underscored the volatility of bullpen games and the big-picture arc of Ohtani’s power, delivering a fantasy-friendly jumble of power, control, and late-inning leverage for the rest of the season.

Which Dodgers relief arms will be the most trusted in the next few games, and how should fantasy players price them?How should Ohtani’s milestone season affect fantasy rostering this week?Which Phillies players were the biggest beneficiaries from the rally, and should they be prioritized in lineups?What does this game say about the Dodgers’ lineup against left-handed pitching and bullpen depth for the rest of the season?
