Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions
Prediction
Dodgers 5, Padres 3
Money line
It is hard to pick against the Dodgers with Anderson on the mound. They are 15-3 in his starts and have won his last 6 outings and 13 of his last 14. They even won his last outing despite that he allowed 5 runs over 5 innings at the San Francisco Giants Tuesday.
The Dodgers are 29-5 in their last 34 games and are 23-14 against teams with winning records. They are just too hard to pick against, especially when they have this year’s best starter for them on the mound.
Take the DODGERS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread
The Dodgers are 66-41 ATS overall this season. They have covered the spread in each of their 7 wins against the Padres.
The Padres are 51-59 ATS overall but 32-24 ATS on the road.
Of the Dodgers’ 74 wins this season, 66 have been by at least 2 runs. If you like them to win, you generally have to like them to cover. This is a better bet than the money line, too. Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+145).
Over/Under
Anderson’s last 2 starts have had totals of more than 8 runs and both of the first 2 games of the series did, but only 4 of the 9 games between these teams this season have exceeded that number.
Fourteen of Darvish’s 20 starts have had 8 or fewer runs this season.
Both starters are solid. Expect a fairly low-scoring game.
Take UNDER 8.5 (-105).
