Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Padres 4

Moneyline

The DODGERS (-155) had won 6 of 7 heading into the Astros series, and although they dropped 2 of 3 games at Houston, they were underdogs in all 3 due to pitching mismatches. The Dodgers have won 4 of Glasnow’s last 5 starts, while the Padres have lost 4 of Waldron’s last 5.

BET DODGERS (-155).

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres have won 7 of 8, and San Diego +1.5 (-135) will probably hit, but backing Waldron to keep it close against the 4th-best offense in MLB this season seems risky.

PASS. Bet the ML and/or total instead.

Over/Under

Waldron has allowed 3 or more runs in 4 of his last 5 starts, and Glasnow has given up 2 or more in 4 straight. The Dodgers have scored 5 or more runs in 6 of their last 9 games, while the Padres have put up 4 or more in 5 of their last 6.

BET OVER 7.5 (-105).
