Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (106-48) square off against the San Diego Padres (86-68) for the second game of a 3-game series Wednesday at Petco Park. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 12-5

The Dodgers are now guaranteed to finish with the best record in NL as there aren’t enough games for the Atlanta Braves or the New York Mets to catch them. Los Angeles will likely be resting some of its starters down the stretch to avoid any notable injuries for the playoffs.

The Padres have done a stellar job trying to lock in a wild-card spot in the NL as they’ve won 8 of their last 10 games. San Diego is 2 1/2 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for the No. 2 wild-card spot.

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Dodgers 3

Money line

Only one of these teams has something to play for to end the season, so I’ll take PADRES (+120) in this game. San Diego has won 2 of the last 4 meetings despite Los Angeles having a massive lead in the season series.

Run line/Against the spread

PADRES +1.5 (-145) is where I’m going in this game. Even if you don’t believe San Diego can win this game, the game should be a close one at Petco Park.

Over/Under

We have 2 good pitchers on the mound in this game, but the Dodgers could be inclined to pull their starters quicker than usual. Taking that into account, Over 7.5 RUNS (+100) is the ideal choice in this game.

The Over has hit in 6 of the last 7 meetings between San Diego and Los Angeles and has also hit in 4 of the last 5 matchups at Petco Park. On top of that, the Over is 4-0 in the last 4 starts for Musgrove against a team with a winning record.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (95-43) clash with the San Diego Padres (77-63) Sunday in the finale of a 3-game set at Petco Park. First pitch is set for 4:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 11-4

The Dodgers tattooed LHP Blake Snell Saturday for 5 ER on 7 H and 3 BB over 4 IP en route to an 8-4 victory. They’ve now won 3 of their last 4 games and are 20-10 over the last 30 games.

Los Angeles is a dangerous team to bet on because it has very little to play for as it’s 7 games ahead of the New York Mets for home-field advantage in the postseason.

San Diego has a shot to take the series with RHP Joe Musgrove on the rubber. Saturday’s loss snapped a 3-game win streak for the Friars as they slid into the 3rd NL wild-card spot with the loss and trail the Philadelphia Phillies by a half-game for the 2nd spot. They need this game more.

Dodgers at Padres projected starters

LHP Andrew Heaney vs. RHP Joe Musgrove

Heaney (2-2, 2.94 ERA) makes his 12th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 2.3 BB/9 and 13.5 K/9 in 52 IP.

  • Allowed a season-high 6 ER in 5 1/3 IP against the San Francisco Giants Monday in his last start
  • Allowed 3 unearned runs over 4 2/3 IP to the Padres Aug. 6.

Musgrove (9-6, 3.16 ERA) makes his 26th start. He has a 1.08 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 in 153 2/3 IP.

  • Struggled to a 5.52 ERA across his last 3 starts
  • 1 start against Dodgers this year: 7 IP, 5 H, 3 ER, 1 BB and 10 K on the road June 30

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Dodgers 4

Money line

The Padres are a solid 28-21 against left-handed starters this year. As mentioned, they need this game more, and Musgrove knows that. He leads the Padres to victory. Take the PADRES (+105).

Run line/Against the spread

I’m not a fan of the juice on San Diego’s side. I do think they’ll get to Heaney, though. He has allowed at least 2 ER in 5 straight starts. So let’s go with PADRES OVER 1.5 TOTAL RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-130). That’s a good price for something that shouldn’t be too tall of an order.

Over/Under

We’ve had 8 runs in both games of the series and in 5 straight matchups with these teams. The Dodgers are 8-1-1 O/U the last 10 games, and the Padres are 8-2. The wind is blowing out to right-center field at 8 mph. There is a 66% chance of rain to keep in mind, though, which is odd for Southern California. Take the OVER 7.5 (-130).

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (94-43) clash with the San Diego Padres (77-62) Saturday in the second game of a 3-game set at Petco Park. First pitch is set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 10-4

The Dodgers fell 5-4 in 10 innings to the Padres Friday night. The game was affected early on by rain, but there was a dry spell after the 5th inning as only the winning run was scored.

The Dodgers are a dangerous play this late in the season because they’re 7 games up for the top seed in the playoffs and 18 games up on the Padres in the NL West. Keep that in mind when placing bets on them because they’ll likely be favored every game without a lot of incentive.

The Padres are fighting to keep the 2nd wild-card spot. They trail the New York Mets by 10 games for the top wild-card berth and hold a 1/2 game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies for the 2nd spot. They appear to have righted the ship after the splash made by acquiring OF Juan Soto wasn’t as big of a cannonball as expected. San Diego is 7-3 over its last 10 games.

Dodgers at Padres projected starters

LHP Julio Urias vs. LHP Blake Snell

Urias (15-7, 2.29 ERA) makes his 27th start. He has a 0.95 WHIP, 2.1 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 145 2/3 IP.

  • Was solid in his most recent start against San Diego last Saturday: 6 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB and 2 K
  • Has been a little better on the road this year: 9-4, 2.07 ERA vs. 6-3, 2.54 ERA at home

Snell (6-8, 3.73 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 3.8 BB/9 and 12.2 K/9 in 99 IP.

  • 1 start vs. Dodgers this year: 5 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 4 BB and 12 K in L.A. July 1
  • Strangely, has struggled at home: 3-6, 3.97 ERA, 11.9 K/9 vs. 3-2, 3.38 ERA, 12.6 K/9 on the road

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Padres 3

Money line

This one shapes up to be a pitcher’s duel, but the Dodgers have a distinct bullpen advantage. Snell rarely goes deep, and the Padres used relief ace LHP Josh Hader Friday. He’s very rarely used in back-to-backs. The Dodgers have the 3rd-best bullpen ERA in MLB (3.03); San Diego’s is 13th (3.78).

I’ll take DODGERS FIRST 9 INNINGS (-117).

Run line/Against the spread

I prefer San Diego’s run line, but I’m not really keen on the -140 tag. So since both pitchers allowed just 1 ER each in their respective starts against each team, let’s go an unconventional route. Both should go 5 or 6 innings, so let’s take UNDER 4.5 RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (-155) for a FULL UNIT and UNDER 3.5 RUNS FIRST 5 INNINGS (+102) for a HALF-UNIT.

Over/Under

Both teams have been Over teams the last 10 games. LA is 7-2-1, and San Diego is 8-2 O/U. We’ve had at least 8 runs in 4 straight between these teams, but I firmly believe this pitching matchup breaks that trend.

Go easily, because we’re going against the grain, but LEAN UNDER 7.5 (-102).

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (94-42) start a 3-game series against the San Diego Padres (76-62) Friday at Petco Park with 1st pitch at 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 10-3

Despite going 4-3 to begin September, the Dodgers enter this game as the best team in baseball with 7 more wins than the 2nd-best team in the NL and 6 up on the AL’s best team. Los Angeles went 22-6 in August.

The Padres have lost 3 of their last 5 games. San Diego is positioned in the No. 2 wild-card spot in the NL, though, they are only a half game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies.

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 8, Padres 4

Money line

AVOID taking the money line in this one as the Dodgers have -165 odds to win the game. I’d consider including the money line for Los Angeles if I’m doing a parlay, but I can’t recommend taking it straight up.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers have seemingly had the Padres’ number this season, beating them in 10 of their first 13 meetings. DODGERS -1.5 (+100) is where I’m leaning as Los Angles has beaten San Diego by multiple runs in each of their 10 wins against them.

You can also take DODGERS -0.5 FIRST 5 INNINGS (-110) if you aren’t comfortable taking them to win by 2-plus runs.

Over/Under

When the Dodgers and the Padres have faced each other this season, it has typically been runs galore. OVER 8.5 RUNS (-108) is a solid pick with May potentially getting himself in trouble with walks and Clevinger with a career-worst K/9.

In San Diego’s last 7 games, the Over has hit in 6 of them. On the other side, Los Angeles has gone 6-0-1 to the Over in their last 7 games and the Over is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings between these teams.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (10-4) and San Diego Padres (10-6) face off in the rubber game of their three-game series Sunday. First pitch is 4:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Y nickname vs. Z nickname odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The season series is tied 1-1.

The Dodgers took the opener 6-1 Friday before the Padres eked out a 3-2 extra-inning win Saturday. It was San Diego’s fifth win in their last six games.

The loss for Los Angeles was only its second in its last 10 games. L.A. continues to lead the NL West.

Dodgers at Padres projected starters

LHP Clayton Kershaw vs. LHP Sean Manaea

Kershaw (2-0, 3.00 ERA) makes his third start. He has allowed 4 ER on 6 H with 20 K across 12 IP.

  • Followed up 7 no-hit innings in his first outing by giving up 4 ER on 6 H across 5 IP in a 7-4 win Monday against the Atlanta Braves.
  • Has been dominant while going 10-4 with a 1.88 ERA over 120 innings at Petco Park in his career.

Manaea (2-1, 1.42 ERA) makes his fourth start. He has a 0.79 WHIP, 5 BB and 19 K through 19 IP.

  • Manaea has gone at least six innings and allowed 2 or fewer runs in each start.
  • Like Kershaw, he threw seven no-hit innings in his 2022 debut.
  • Has yet to win a game and has an 5.27 ERA in three career starts against the Dodgers.

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Padres 3

Money line

The Dodgers have only lost four times all season and have had consecutive losses once already when they lost two straight in their opening series against the Colorado Rockies.

Kershaw’s career at Petco Park is hard to ignore and then, even with a short sample size, Manaea has worse numbers than you would think against the Dodgers. Despite Kershaw’s struggles in his last start, I LEAN DODGERS (-145).

Run line/Against the spread

All 10 wins the Dodgers have had this season have been by at least 2 runs. They have not won a game in which they have not covered the spread. They are 10-4 ATS on the season, as they have been favored in every game they have played.

The Padres have only been underdogs five times thus far this season but are 3-2 ATS in those games.

I LEAN DODGERS -1.5 (+122).

Over/Under

Nine of the Dodgers’ 13 games have had at least 7 runs this season.

Half of the Padres’ games have had at least 7 runs, but they are 4-12 O/U.

The Padres are 2-8 O/U in their last 10 games and the Dodgers are only 3-7 O/U across that span. That said, the lower projected total is what does it for me.

Take OVER 6.5 (-125).

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (10-3) seek a road series win Saturday against the San Diego Padres (9-6). First pitch is 8:40 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

The Dodgers took the series opener 6-1 Friday in the NL West division rivals’ first meeting of the year.

The Dodgers have won nine of their last 10 games. Despite having the highest winning percentage in all of baseball, they only have a 1.5-game lead in the NL West over the Colorado Rockies and San Francisco Giants.

The Padres had their four-game win streak snapped Friday. They are in fourth place in the division but only trail the Dodgers by 2 games.

Dodgers at Padres projected starters

LHP Tyler Anderson vs. RHP Yu Darvish

Anderson (1-0, 2.25 ERA) makes his first start and third appearance of the season. He has allowed 2 ER on 4 H with 8 K through 8 IP.

  • Posted identical stat lines in each of his two relief appearances going 4 innings with 1 ER, 2 H and 4 K.
  • Is 4-3 with a 2.54 ERA in 63 2/3 innings across 10 starts and 1 relief appearance versus the Padres in his career.

Darvish (1-1, 6.28 ERA) makes his fourth start. He has allowed 10 ER on 12 H and 6 BB with 13 K in 14 1/3 IP.

  • Allowed 9 ER in 1 2/3 IP in his second start of the season at the San Francisco Giants but otherwise has allowed just 1 ER across 12 2/3 IP.
  • Is 2-3 with a 2.43 ERA over 37 innings in six career starts against the Dodgers.

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Dodgers 2

Money line

Looking at Darvish’s stat line, you would think he has struggled this season. It was one awful start. He has been dominant in his other appearances. His ERA outside the one disastrous start is 0.71.

Anderson has pitched well out of the bullpen and has done well in his career against the Padres.

The Padres did lose two in a row at home, but I expect them to bounce back in a matchup with strong pitching.

Take PADRES (+100).

Run line/Against the spread

Every single one of the Dodgers’ 10 wins this season has been by at least 2 runs.

The Padres have been underdogs in only four previous games and are 2-2 ATS in those games.

I like the Padres to win, so the money line is the better value. The run line is almost a little too pricy, but if you aren’t all in on an outright win, you can take the PADRES +1.5 (-170).

Over/Under

Darvish’s two good starts were both games with 6 or fewer runs.

Six of the last seven games for the Padres have had 7 or fewer runs.

With two pitchers who have been effective in their outings, you can’t expect a lot of scoring.

Take UNDER 7.5 (-102).

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (9-3) and San Diego Padres (9-5) renew acquaintances Friday when they open up a three-game set. First pitch at Petco Park is slated for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: The Dodgers took 12 of 19 games from the Padres last season, outscoring them 88-68 along the way.

Los Angeles has won eight of its last nine contests, and its pitching has been outstanding. The Dodgers have compiled a tidy 1.78 ERA while allowing just 5 HR and striking out 9.7 batters per contest across that nine-game span.

The Padres are coming off four straight wins and a day off Thursday. The Friars have yielded just 4 total runs across their win streak.

Dodgers at Padres: Projected starters

LHP Julio Urias vs. RHP Nick Martinez

Urias (0-1, 3.86 ERA) is tabbed for his third start this season. He has allowed 3 ER on 7 H and 3 BB with 5 K across 7 IP.

  • Registered a 2.96 ERA in 185 2/3 IP last season.
  • Tossed 5 scoreless frames in his last outing versus the Cincinnati Reds Saturday.
  • Has held current Padres batters to an aggregate .542 OPS.

Martinez (0-1, 4.50 ERA) makes his third start. He has given up 5 ER on 12 H and 5 BB with 9 K through 10 IP.

  • Notched a 5.66 ERA in 111 1/3 IP last year.
  • Touched up for 4 ER on 7 hits and 4 BB in 5 IP in his last start against the Atlanta Braves Saturday.

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.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (44-29) try to salvage one game of their three-game road set against the San Diego Padres (44-32) Wednesday night. First pitch at Petco Park is set for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Trevor Bauer is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers. He is 7-5 with a 2.45 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 through 95 2/3 IP spanning 15 starts.

Bauer pitched 7 scoreless innings in his last outing. In his three starts prior, his ERA was 4.74, with at least 3 earned runs in each of those games.

RHP Joe Musgrove is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 4-6 with a 2.28 ERA, 0.85 WHIP, 11.2 K/9 and 1.9 BB/9 across 79 IP over 13 starts and one relief appearance.

He allowed either 1 or 0 earned runs in nine of his 13 starts. He has not earned a win since May 19.

  • Money line: Dodgers -105 (bet $105 to win $100) | Padres -115 (bet $115 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Dodgers -1.5 (+165) | Padres +1.5 (-200)
  • Over/Under: 7 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Padres 4, Dodgers 2

Money line (ML)

The Dodgers are 3-6 against San Diego this season and are trying to avoid a series sweep Wednesday. They are only 7-8 with Bauer on the mound and 3-7 in his road starts.

Musgrove pitched 7 scoreless innings in his last outing after two consecutive starts of allowing 3 earned runs. He has had no fewer than four consecutive starts with 2 or fewer earned runs, so he should be on his game tonight.

Take the PADRES (-115).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Dodgers failed to cover the spread in their last three games and are 2-4 ATS in their last six. They are 16-22 ATS on the road.

The Padres are 40-36 ATS this season and covered the spread in five of their last six games. They covered the spread in each of their last seven games against the Dodgers.

Back the PADRES +1.5 (-200).

Over/Under (O/U)

Only 43.9% of the games at Petco Park have gone Over the projected total this season.

Only three of the Dodgers’ last nine games hit the Over. Eleven of Bauer’s 15 starts have had totals of 7 or fewer earned runs.

Six of the last eight games for the Padres went Over the projected total but with two pitchers with ERAs in the low 2s, don’t expect a lot of offense.

Take UNDER 7 (+100).

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (44-27) and San Diego Padres (42-32) play the first game of a three-game set Monday with a 10:10 p.m. ET first pitch at Petco Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Julio Urias is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers. He is 9-2 with a 3.54 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 in 84 IP over 14 starts.

Urias is 2-0 with a 3.24 ERA in three starts in the month of June with two road victories. The Dodgers have won six of his last seven appearances while he is 5-1 during that span. This is his first start against the Padres in 2021.

RHP Yu Darvish is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 6-2 with a 2.57 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 10.4 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9 in 84 IP over 14 starts.

Darvish allowed 4 ER on 6 H and 2 BB with 5 K over 5 IP last time out in a no-decision Tuesday at Colorado. More importantly, he is 1-1 with a 1.29 ERA in 14 innings across two starts this year against the Dodgers.

Dodgers at Padres odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 7:15 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Dodgers +105 (bet $100 to win $105) | Padres -125 (bet $125 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Dodgers +1.5 (-210) | Padres -1.5 (+170)
  • Over/Under: 6.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Padres 3, Dodgers 1

Money line (ML)

PADRES (-125) are the “lean” here in a very good pitching matchup. While both of Darvish’s losses have come at home this season he also has an impressive 2.25 ERA in 56 innings across nine starts at Petco.

One of those losses came against the Dodgers, although he allowed just 1 ER and 1 H across 7 IP with 9 K in a 2-0 setback.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The PADRES -1.5 (+170) are worth a look on the run line behind Darvish. Urias is 6-1 with a 2.72 ERA in seven road outings this season, so it won’t be easy. However, San Diego is an impressive 25-14 at home and the “lean” here.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 6.5 (+100) is the “lean” at even money, although go lightly with this low number. Still, Urias hasn’t been giving up much, and Darvish has owned his former club this season.

Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (12-2) and San Diego Padres (9-6) continue  a three-game Petco Park series Saturday at 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Clayton Kershaw is the projected starting pitcher for the Dodgers. Over the last two years (2020-21), Kershaw is 8-3 with a 2.34 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 9.1 K/9 and 1.1 BB/9 in 77 IP. Current San Diego bats own a .624 OPS against the veteran Dodger hurler. Kershaw is coming off a six-shutout-inning performance against Washington April 11; he has allowed just 1 ER in 13 IP over his last 2 starts.

RHP Yu Darvish is the projected starter for the Padres. In 15 starts over the last two seasons, Darvish is 9-3 with a 2.21 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 10.8 K/9 and 1.6 BB/9 in 93 2/3 IP. The veteran righty owns a 3.06 ERA and 0.96 WHIP through his first three games as a Padre.

  • Over/Under: 7 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Padres 5, Dodgers 4

Money line (ML)

The Dodgers won Friday’s lid-lifter and have won seven straight. San Diego lost some mojo at the tail end of a road trip leading into this series, and that appeared to carry into Friday’s tilt.

Look for a bounce back from a Padres nine, which a year ago played .656 ball at home. In a tiny sample size (26 plate appearances), Dodger batters have a silly bad line against Darvish (.174 OPS, 57% K rate).

TAKE THE PADRES +100.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

PASS on trying the home side plus the run-and-a-half. The odds needed nix the value.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Dodger offense is clicking on all cylinders; the Padre attack figures to be much better than the numbers its cranking out on the surface (.750 OPS). San Diego’s offense has been hamstrung by an abysmal performance in high-leverage situations (.565 OPS with a .207 batting average on balls in play).

Both bullpens were aired out in Friday’s series opener, a 10-6 win for Los Angeles. The Over hit in that game and is 4-1 in the last five meetings between these Southern California neighbors.

TAKE THE OVER 7 (-115) on a strong lean.
