San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (0-1) and Los Angeles Dodgers (1-0) close out the 2-game Korea Series Thursday morning in Seoul, South Korea. First pitch is scheduled for 6:05 a.m. ET (ESPN) with the Dodgers being the home team for this one — the Padres were the home team Wednesday. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 1-0; Los Angeles won 5-2 as a heavy favorite (-215) while the Under (8.5) cashed.

The Dodgers won the 1st MLB regular-season game ever played on South Korean soil, posting the 5-2 victory with 7 hits. Los Angeles SS Mookie Betts led off and collected a pair of singles, a walk and an RBI. Betts and DH Shohei Ohtani collected multiple hits for the Dodgers . Los Angeles batters also drew 9 walks, while taking advantage of 2 San Diego errors.

The Padres managed just 4 hits, with 2B Xander Bogaerts knocked a pair of singles with an RBI. Neither team had a home run, or even an extra-base hit, with all 11 knocks being singles. San Diego did draw 4 walks, while L.A. had 9, and that was the biggest story from Game 1.

RHP Joe Musgrove vs. RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Musgrove (10-3, 3.05 ERA) made 17 starts in 2023. He posted a 1.14 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 9.0 K/9 through 97 1/3 innings.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres vs. Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Padres 5

Moneyline

The Dodgers (-190) took care of business in the opener, winning by 3 runs, but they’re turning to an import pitcher making his Major League debut in Game 2. It’s risky, as there just isn’t much of a sample size with Yamamoto. Truth be told, so far the sample size hasn’t been great in Cactus League play.

On the flip side, the Padres (+155) can’t be trusted with Musgrove, who struggled in 2 starts against the Dodgers in 2023. The light-hitting Padres really struggled to cobble together much offense on Wednesday.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

The PADRES +1.5 (-125) aren’t priced out of line, if you’d like a little bit of a insurance, but don’t want to play San Diego straight up.

The Padres should be able to piece together a little more offense against the unproven Yamamoto, than they did against Wednesday starter RHP Tyler Glasnow and L.A. in the opener. We should see our 1st extra-base hits of the season, too.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-115) is worth a look in Game 2, as we should see an uptick in offense, including the first extra-base hits of the season, and perhaps a home run or two.

We weren’t sure how the Gocheok Sky Dome would play, and it turned out it is a single haven as Glasnow and San Diego’s Wednesday starter RHP Yu Darvish each fared pretty well. We still saw 7 total runs, and an increase an offense is expected with lesser pitching on the bump Thursday.

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

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (68-78) wrap up a 3-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers (88-56) on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 9-3

The Padres were defeated 11-2 by the Dodgers on Tuesday as OF Fernando Tatis Jr. hit his 24th homer of the season. San Diego has lost 5 of its last 8 games and is 8 games back of the final NL Wild Card.

Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman hit his 26th home run of the season and tallied 4 hits in Tuesday’s lopsided win. Los Angeles is 4-2 in its last 6 games and is 13 games ahead of the Arizona Diamondbacks atop the NL West.

Padres at Dodgers projected starters

LHP Blake Snell vs. RHP Ryan Pepiot

Snell (13-9, 2.52 ERA) makes his 30th start. He has a 1.26 WHIP, 5.1 BB/9 and 11.7 K/9 through 161 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 8 K in 11-2 road win vs. Houston Astros Friday
  • 2023 road stats: 4-4, 2.29 ERA (78 2/3 IP, 20 ER) in 14 starts
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 1-2, 2.86 ERA (56 2/3 IP, 18 ER) in 12 starts

Pepiot (2-0, 0.86 ERA) makes his 3rd start. He has a 0.52 WHIP, 0.9 BB/9 and 7.3 K/9 through 21 IP.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Padres 3

Moneyline

I’ll take the DODGERS (-130) at home Wednesday despite that they’re facing Snell. The Dodgers are a perfect 4-0 in the Pepiot’s 4 appearances and have won 9 of 12 meetings vs. the Padres this season.

Run line/Against the spread

DODGERS -1.5 (+145) is how I’d wager on the spread with L.A. playing at home. The Dodgers have beat the Padres by at least 2 runs in 8 of their 9 wins against them this season.

Over/Under

While Snell and Pepiot have been great on the mound, OVER 8.5 (-120) is the lean in this game. The Dodgers boast the 6th-best ISO (.204), wOBA (.367), and wRC+ (133) against left-handed pitching since the beginning of August.

The Over is also 6-0 in the last 6 meetings overall.

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

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (67-77) and Los Angeles Dodgers (87-55) open up a 3-game set at Dodger Stadium Monday. First pitch is at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 8-2

The Padres enter this matchup after dropping 2 of 3 games in each of their last 2 series to the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies. The Friars are just 8-12 over the last 20 games as their disappointing season is nearing the end. The Padres are 28-41 on the road and 20-23 within the NL West.

The Dodgers are coasting a bit with a 13-game lead in the NL West. They are just 4-6 over the last 10 games, which presents a risk in betting on them this late in the regular season. OF Mookie Betts was able to return Sunday from a foot injury that kept him out a couple of days. L.A. is 26-12 within the division.

Padres at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Pedro Avila vs. RHP Gavin Stone

Avila (1-2, 2.19 ERA) makes his 5th start and 11th appearance. He has a 1.35 WHIP, 4.6 BB/9 and 9.2 K/9 in 37 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 6 BB, 1 K against the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday
  • 2023 as a starter: 1-2, 3.50 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and 8.5 K/9

Stone (1-0, 10.50 ERA) makes his 4th start and 6th appearance. He has a 2.28 WHIP, 4.0 BB/9 and 5.0 K/9 in 18 innings.

  • Last start: No-decision, 2 IP, 7 ER, 10 H, 0 BB, 3 K May 28 against Tampa Bay Rays
  • Was 7-4 with a 4.74 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 19 starts and 21 games at Triple-A Oklahoma City

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Dodgers 5

Moneyline

I have no reason to believe in the Dodgers, who are just trying to make it to October without suffering more injuries. They had a bullpen game Sunday, and Stone has given no reason to consider backing them.

The PADRES (+140) is the way to go in this one.

Run line/Against the spread

If you can’t bring yourself to take the underdogs and want some insurance, the Padres are at a solid price to keep it within a run. The Dodgers are just 38-33 on the RL at home this year, and San Diego is 33-36 on the RL on the road.

Either take the ML or take PADRES +1.5 (-135).

Over/Under

The Dodgers have plated 31 runs over the last 4 games, and 2 of those were without Betts atop the lineup. Both of these starters are unproven with some spotty results. The Over has cashed in the last 4 meetings between the teams and cashed in 3 of Avila’s last 4 starts as well.

LEAN OVER 9.5 (-110).

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

The San Diego Padres (19-21) hope to avoid a 3-game sweep by the Los Angeles Dodgers (25-15) on Sunday. First pitch for the series finale is Sunday at 4:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium.

Season series: Dodgers lead 4-1

The Padres have lost 4 in a row and 6 of their last 7 after the Dodgers have taken both games of the series so far with 4-2 victories. San Diego has been held to 3 or fewer runs in 6 of its last 7 games, all losses.

The Dodgers have a 4-game winning streak and are 12-2 in their last 14 games.

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Padres 3

Moneyline

The Dodgers have won 12 of their last 14 games and are 14-6 at home while the Padres have lost 4 in a row and 6 of their last 7 games.

It seems 5 runs is the magic number for the Padres. They are 10-0 in their last 10 games scoring 5 or more runs. They are 0-10 in their last 10 games scoring fewer than 5 runs.

The Dodgers have allowed 4 or fewer runs in 11 of their last 13 games.

The moneyline is a little too costly to bet the Dodgers here, but they are  good bet on the run line.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Ten of the Dodgers’ last 12 wins have been by 2 or more runs. Their last 3 wins over the Padres have been by more than 1 run. Meanwhile, 9 of the Padres’ last 12 losses have been by more than 1 run.

BET DODGERS -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Padres 2

Moneyline

The DODGERS (-155) are playing well, and they’re not priced out of line on their home field.

The Padres (+125) are 1-5 in the past 6 games overall, while cashing in just 2 of the previous 8 tries in Game 2 of a series. They’re also just 1-5 in the past 6 against teams with a winning overall record, too.

Run line/Against the spread

The DODGERS -1.5 (+135) are a decent value on the run line. Not only has L.A. won 3 in a row, but it has cashed on the run line in each outing. In fact, as a favorite, Los Angeles is 10-1 in the past 11 games as a favorite, while covering the run line in 8 of the past 9 as a fave.

The Padres +1.5 (-160) failed to cover as an underdog on the run line in Friday’s opener, and they’re 0-2 on the run line in the past 2 as a ‘dog against the Dodgers.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

The UNDER 8.5 (-115) is worth a look, as the Under is on fire for San Diego lately.

The Padres have cashed the Under in 9 straight games, including all 4 meetings with the Dodgers this season. In fact, San Diego has plated 5 total runs in the past 3 meetings with Los Angeles.

While the Under and Over has alternated for the Dodgers in the past 4 outings, the Under is 5-2 across the previous 7 games overall.

Moneyline

The Dodgers have won 10 of their last 12 games and are 12-6 at home.

The Padres have lost 4 of their last 5 games.

May outdueled Snell in San Diego Saturday in a 2-1 Dodgers win.

NLDS Game 2: San Diego Padres at Los Angeles Dodgers odds, picks and predictions

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Padres 4

Moneyline

The Padres are 2-9 in Dodger Stadium in 2022 and I expect them to win this game, although I’m hesitant to take them at -200. An alternative on Tipico to consider is When will the game end? Top of the 9th inning (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres were 25-13 as a road underdog this season.

And if you look back at 2021, the Dodgers only covered in 5 of their 12 playoff games that year. But the Padres have yet to show they can match these Dodgers. This line seems too juiced to pick the Padres, and too good to be true at plus money on the Dodgers. I will PASS.

Over/Under

After the Over hit in Game 1, I expect things to continue for Game 2.

Trends also point to a high-scoring game. The Padres have gone Over in 6 straight road games against a left-handed starter.

The Dodgers hit the Over in their last 4 playoff home games and L.A. is 7-1 in their last 8 home games versus teams with a winning regular-season record.

BET OVER 7.5 (+107)

Clevinger (7-7, 4.33 ERA) had a 1.20 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 through 114 1/3 IP in 23 regular-season appearances (22 starts).

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 6, Padres 3

Moneyline

The Dodgers deserve to be heavily favored, both in this game as well as in the series. They have the best record and run differential in the league and the clear pitching edge in this one. However, the price here is a little too steep so it’s best to simply PASS and find value elsewhere.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers owned the Padres this season, outscoring them 109-47 in 19 meetings, with 13 of their 14 wins in the series coming by more than 1 run.

Urias has yielded 2 or fewer runs in 14 straight starts while Clevinger limped to the finish line with a 6.52 ERA over his final 6 turns (2 vs. Los Angeles).

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (-105) or consider a small play at -2.5 (+140).

Over/Under

Clevinger has displayed some soft skills throughout the season and has been knocked around by the high-powered Dodgers offense in 3 previous meetings. Urias has been excellent all year but also a little lucky and shouldn’t be expected to completely shut down the San Diego bats.

The early money has been on the Over, which has pushed the total up since it opened. Even so, the offenses should do enough to go OVER 7.5 (-103).

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).

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

The San Diego Padres (46-31) open a 4-game series at the Los Angeles Dodgers (46-28) Thursday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 2-1 and hold a 1.5-game lead in the NL West over the 2nd-place Padres.

The Padres ended a 3-game losing streak with a 4-0 victory at the Arizona Diamondbacks Wednesday. San Diego is 5-7 in its last 12 games, coming off a 2-game series split at Arizona.

The Dodgers avoided getting swept in 3 at the Colorado Rockies with an 8-4 win Wednesday. They are 9-5 in their last 14 games.

Padres at Dodgers projected starters

RHP Joe Musgrove vs. RHP Mitch White

Musgrove (8-1, 2.12 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 0.95 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 85 IP.

  • Suffered his 1st loss of the season in last start, allowing 6 runs on 7 hits and a walk in 6 innings of a 6-2 home loss to the Philadelphia Phillies June 23. It was the 1st start this season where he allowed more than 2 earned runs.

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Padres 2

Money line

The Dodgers are great at home (20-12) and the Padres are 25-15 on the road, tied for the 3rd-most road wins in the majors.

Musgrove is coming off his worst start of the season and should bounce back.

Take the DODGERS (-135).

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres are 28-12 ATS on the road, the best mark in baseball. They are 16-2 ATS as road underdogs.

But when the Dodgers win, it is almost without fail by 2 or more runs. Of their 46 wins this season, 42 are by at least 2 runs. They are 17-15 ATS at home.

It will come down to this, based on the trends, if you think the Padres will cover, they will probably win outright, so take them on the money. If you like the Dodgers to win outright like I do, you can’t ignore how they usually win.

Take the DODGERS -1.5 (+155).

Over/Under

Before Musgrove’s last start, he had allowed a total of 3 runs over 5 starts.

The previous 2 times White yielded 3 runs in a start this season, he responded by not allowing a run in his next start.

We are primed for a June pitching duel in Chavez Ravine.

Take UNDER 7.5 (-115).
