The San Diego Padres (46-33) and Los Angeles Dodgers (48-28) clash in an NL West battle Saturday at 7:15 p.m. ET (FOX) in the 3rd game of a 4-game series at Dodger Stadium Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: Dodgers lead 4-1
The Padres have dropped the first 2 games of this series and are just 5-9 in their last 14 games. An offensive attack that was red-hot from June 3-16 (.798 OPS) has cooled. The Friars own a .671 OPS in the last 14 games.

Run line/Against the spread
Consider a partial-unit play on the DODGERS -1.5 (+135).
Anderson throws a heavy dose of change-ups, and that’s a problem pitch for Padres batters. The last 16 Los Angeles victories have been by margins of 2-or-more.
Over/Under
The weather forecast for Chavez Ravine calls for a warm day and an outward-blowing breeze. With 2 fly-ball pitchers on the mound, BACK THE OVER 7.5 (-130).
