Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 5, Padres 4
Money line
PASS, but there is a slight lean toward the Padres at home and against a Dodgers starter perhaps getting too much respect.

Run line/Against the spread
Wading just slightly into the waters of fade-Urias. Respecting the Dodgers’ overall talent and being okay with the underdog pricing, will go with a partial-unit play on SAN DIEGO +1.5 (-130).
Over/Under
The 25-cent pricing here takes away some steam, but there is enough fade-the-pitching baked into both sides here to make the OVER 7.5 (-125) worth a look.
