How to Watch Dodgers vs PhilliesWhen: Wednesday, October 8, 2025Time: 9:08 PM ETTV Channel: TBSLive Stream: Sling (watch now); DIRECTV (watch now)
The Dodgers are on a mission to win back-to-back championships, and so far during the postseason, they appear to be the best team in baseball once again. They hold a 2-0 lead over Philadelphia and can advance to the NLCS with a win on Wednesday night.
The bats at the top of the order have been quiet for the Phillies as the first three hitters in the lineup have combined to go 1-15 through the first two games. Bryce Harper, Trea Turner, and Kyle Schwarber are some of the most feared players in the league, but they will face a tough test in Game 3 facing Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
Yamamoto is one of several All-Star-level pitchers in the Dodgers’ rotation, and he has made a name for himself delivering in big games just two seasons into his MLB career. He has given up 1 run or fewer in 6 consecutive starts, and if he can do so again, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman will likely take care of the rest.
This is a fantastic MLB matchup that you will not want to miss; make sure to tune in and catch all the action.
