Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Padres 1

Moneyline

LEAN DODGERS (+135).

As mentioned, Los Angeles has dominated San Diego this season, winning 6 in a row. Plus, the Dodgers are 3-1 the last 4 times they faced Snell in a regular-season contest.

Snell is 0-2 with a 3.86 ERA (21 IP, 9 ER) and 1.24 WHIP in those 4 starts, including 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA (12 IP, 4 ER) and a 1.00 WHIP in 2 starts this season.

Look for the DODGERS (+135) to continue their hot streak vs. the Padres Saturday.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS. 

I’m confident the Dodgers will cover the run line, but at +1.5 (-150), the juice eliminates the value. Bet the moneyline and/or O/U instead.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (+100).

The Under is 7-2 in the Padres last 9 games, 4-1 in Snell’s last 5 starts, and 4-0 in Snell’s last 4 starts vs. the Dodgers — which includes a 2022 playoff game.

Prior to Friday’s opener cashing an Over ticket — thanks to the Dodgers’ late runs — the Under was 6-0 in the previous 6 head-to-head meetings.

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, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (62-45) and San Diego Padres (54-55) meet Friday to kick off a 4-game series. First pitch from Petco Park is set for 9:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Dodgers vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Dodgers lead 5-1

Los Angeles won 8-2 as a -271 home favorite Thursday to complete a 3-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics. The Athletics only came close to the Dodgers once in that game, when they trailed 2-1 in the top of the 6th, but the Dodgers were quick to answer. Los Angeles scored 4 runs in the bottom of the 6th to take an insurmountable 6-1 lead. The Dodgers have won 3 straight and are 28-25 on the road this season.

San Diego won 11-1 as a -186 road favorite Wednesday vs. the Colorado Rockies to win the series 2-1. The Padres jumped out to a 3-run lead by the 3rd inning and the Rox were never in the game from that point. San Diego has won back-to-back games and is 6-4 in their last 10 games overall and 29-25 at home on the year.

Miller (6-2, 4.37 ERA) makes his 12th start. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 59 2/3 IP.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 6 K in a 6-5 home loss last Friday vs. Cincinnati Reds
  • First career start vs. San Diego

Darvish (8-7, 4.53 ERA) makes his 20th start. He has a 1.29 WHIP, 3.2 BB/9 and 9.8 K/9 through 107 1/3 IP.

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 3, Padres 2

Moneyline

LEAN DODGERS (+105).

The Padres are the slightly hotter team but the Dodgers have dominated them lately. Los Angeles has won 5 straight vs. San Diego and both teams are 3-2 in their starters’ last 5 starts overall. The Dodgers are also solid on the road while the Padres are mediocre at home.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Dodgers +1.5 (-190) to cover here but that line is simply not worth the juice when you can get them on the moneyline at plus money. Bet on the moneyline and/or total instead.

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

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 8.5 (-115).

The Under is 8-2 in San Diego’s last 10 games and 2-1 in Darvish’s last 3 starts. The Under is also 6-0 in the last 6 Los Angeles-San Diego meetings.

San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies odds, picks and predictions

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

The San Diego Padres (52-54) open a 3-game set with the Colorado Rockies (41-64) Monday. First pitch from Coors Field is set for 8:40 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Rockies odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 4-3

The Padres swept the Texas Rangers over the weekend to move within 5 games of the final NL Wild Card spot. San Diego has been playing pretty consistent baseball, going 6-4 over its last 10 games and 15-15 across its last 30.

The Rockies have dropped 4 of their last 5 games and currently sport the worst record in the National League. Colorado is 18 1/2 games back in the NL West and 15 1/2 games back of an NL Wild Card spot.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Rockies projected starters

RHP Seth Lugo vs. LHP Austin Gomber

Lugo (4-5, 3.62 ERA) makes his 16th start. He has a 1.20 WHIP, 1.8 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 through 82 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 7 IP, 2 R, 3 H, 0 BB, 10 K in 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh Pirates Wednesday
  • 2023 road stats: 2-2, 3.38 ERA (45 1/3 IP, 17 ER) and 8.3 K/9 in 8 starts
  • Career vs. Rockies: 3-0, 2.64 ERA (30 2/3 IP, 9 ER) in 3 starts and 7 relief appearances
  • Career at Coors Field: Allowed 6 R (3 ER) in 7 IP with an 11/2 K/BB in 1 start and 2 relief appearances
  • Has served up 5 long balls in his 3 most recent appearances after allowing a total of just 6 HR through his first 12 starts

Gomber (8-8, 5.83 ERA) makes his 22nd start. He has a 1.44 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 6.0 K/9 through 108 IP.

  • Last start: No-decision, 6 IP, 1 R (0 ER), 6 H, 0 BB, 4 K in 6-5 loss at Washington Nationals Tuesday
  • 2023 home stats: 5-4, 7.19 ERA (61 1/3 IP, 49 ER) with 14 HR allowed (2.1 HR/9) over 12 starts
  • Career vs. Padres: 2-3, 3.70 ERA (41 1/3 IP, 17 ER) in 7 starts and 4 relief appearances.
  • Has made 2 starts against the Padres this year, allowing 3 ER in 6 IP at San Diego on April 2 and 7 ER in 4 IP in a home start on June 9
  • Got off to a brutal start this season with a 12.12 ERA over his first 4 turns but has a more respectable 4.71 ERA in 17 starts since, with 3 ER or fewer allowed in 12 of those outings

Padres at Rockies picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Rockies 4

Moneyline

Gomber has pitched better lately, with a 3.00 ERA and just 2 BB across 36 IP over his last 6 starts, but he has been awful at home this season. Lugo has been rock-solid, and the Padres have been rolling and have climbed back into the race for a playoff spot. However, San Diego is 23-29 away from home on the season so this price is just a little too steep.

PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Colorado dropped 2 of 3 to the lowly Oakland Athletics over the weekend, then proceeded to trade away two of their best hitters. This is a game the Padres should win and the run line for the road team at Coors Field is always in play. Back the PADRES -1.5 (-135).

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

Over/Under

Both starters in this game have been pitching well and are likely to avoid getting blown up despite the challenging environment. It probably won’t be a pitchers’ duel, but this game should slide in just UNDER 11.5 (-105).

The Texas Rangers (60-45) and San Diego Padres (51-54) wrap up a 3-game set Sunday at Petco Park. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rangers vs. Padres odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 2-0

Rangers at Padres projected starters

LHP Cody Bradford vs. LHP Blake Snell

Bradford (2-1, 4.62 ERA) makes his 6th start and 12th appearance. He has a 1.14 WHIP, 1.9 BB/9 and 7.8 K/9 in 37 innings.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 5 IP, 2 ER, 6 H, 0 BB, 3 K in relief during 4-3 loss at Astros Tuesday

Rangers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Rangers 2

Moneyline

San Diego (-200) should beat Texas for the 11th straight time, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the moneyline when the Padres should win by multiple runs.

PASS. Bet the run line and/or the total instead.

Run line/Against the spread

Granted it’s over several seasons, but the Padres have covered the run line in 9 of the last 10 meetings between these teams. Snell has not allowed more than 2 ER in 12 straight starts and gives San Diego the pitching advantage it needs to win by multiple runs.

BET PADRES -1.5 (-105).

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

Over/Under

The Under has hit in the last 4 Padres games as San Diego has allowed just 5 runs over that stretch. Snell has been 1 of the best pitchers in MLB over his last 12 starts and should help the Under hit once again Sunday.

BET UNDER 9 (-115).

Season series: Padres lead 1-0

San Diego won 7-1 as a -163 home favorite in the series opener on Friday. That game was all Padres from the jump. By the end of the 6th inning, they had a 7-0 lead and had already put the game away, thanks to a 4-run 6th inning that gave them an insurmountable lead.

The Rangers are now 5-5 in their last 10 games overall and sit at 26-24 on the road this year. San Diego is 6-4 in its last 10 and 2-2 in its last 4 home games. The Padres are 27-25 at home this season.

Rangers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Rangers 6

Moneyline

PASS. 

I like the Padres to win this one as they have the 9-1 lead in the last 10 head-to-head matchups, but at -185, the line is not worth the juice. Bet the run line and/or O/U instead.

Run line/Against the spread

BET RANGERS +1.5 (-130). 

Neither team is much hotter than the other, but the Rangers do have a big enough pitching advantage to make me confident that they will cover here. The Rangers are 4-1 in Perez’s last 5 starts and 1-0 in his only start vs. San Diego. The Padres are 2-3 in Darvish’s last 5 starts and the 5-time All-Star is 0-1 in his only start vs. Texas. The Rangers also have a better record and are solid on the road.

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

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 9.5 (+100). 

The Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings between these teams. The Over is also 4-0-1 in Perez’s last 5 starts, 3-2 in Darvish’s last 5 starts, and 1-0 in Darvish’s only start vs. Texas.

The Over is safer for both pitchers, but this is a lean because the Over hasn’t been hot for either team individually as of late.

Rangers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Rangers 3

Moneyline

AVOID.

This is a pretty even matchup and I don’t see a clear advantage either way. Both teams are struggling coming into this game, but both pitchers are having good seasons. If you’d like to take a shot on the Rangers with the plus odds, I’m not going to fault you. Personally, I’ll avoid this bet and look toward the total.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I’m going to pass on these bets for the same reasons as above. I don’t love the odds either way and I like the total better.

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

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-105).

Dunning has an under 3.50 ERA on the road and Musgrove has an under 3.50 ERA at Petco Park on the season. Musgrove has not allowed more than 3 ER in a game in his last 10 starts. This game will stay under 8 runs with 2 quality pitchers starting.

Also, the Padres have been Under this total in 3 of their last 4 games.

Padres at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 4, Padres 3

Moneyline

Toronto should bounce back and avoid the sweep Thursday. The Blue Jays are 5-3 in their last 8 games after a loss and Bassitt has not allowed more than 3 earned runs in 4 straight starts. The Blue Jays starting pitcher has been solid lately and has gone 6 consecutive starts without losing a decision.

Snell has been on a tear lately, but the Padres have won just 2 of his 8 road starts this season.

BET BLUE JAYS (+100).

Run line/Against the spread

It’s unlikely that the Padres will beat the Blue Jays by multiple runs in 3 straight games at Rogers Centre. Toronto +1.5 (-165) should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when the Blue Jays should win straight up.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

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

Over/Under

Snell has given up just 4 earned runs over his last 10 starts and only 4 of those games have ended with more than 9 total runs. The Under is 11-5-1 in Toronto’s last 17 games and should cash again Thursday with 2 consistent starting pitchers on the mound.

BET UNDER 9 (-120).

Padres at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Blue Jays 4, Padres 3

Moneyline

Toronto has been a decent bounce-back team lately and is 5-2 in its last 7 games after a loss.

Berríos is having one of the best seasons of his career and should do well vs. this inconsistent San Diego offense. The 2-time All-Star has allowed just 1 earned run over his last 2 starts (12 1/3 IP) and Toronto’s improved bullpen is 3rd in MLB with just 108 walks and ranks 5th with a 3.69 ERA.

BET BLUE JAYS (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

The Blue Jays +1.5 (-190) should hit, but there’s no need to pay the higher price on the run line when Toronto should win straight up.

PASS. Bet the moneyline and/or the total instead.

Over/Under

The Under is 12-6-1 this season when San Diego is a road underdog.

The Under has also gone 10-5-1 in Toronto’s last 16 games and should cash again Wednesday with Berríos on the mound.

BET UNDER 9 (-120).

Padres at Blue Jays picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Blue Jays 4

Moneyline

The Padres should bounce back after losing 3 straight games at the Phillies.

The Blue Jays are coming off a 3-game sweep of the Diamondbacks, but Arizona was already in free fall and had lost 5 of its previous 7 heading into the series.

Manoah looked good at the Tigers last time out but has yet to string together back-to-back above-average performances this season.

BET PADRES (-115).

Run line/Against the spread

I only bet the moneyline in this game, but the Padres’ run line is also an option for those who would prefer to play something at plus money.

San Diego’s last 9 wins have been by multiple runs and 24 of Toronto’s last 29 losses have been by 2 or more runs.

LEAN PADRES -1.5 (+140).

Over/Under

The Over is 14-3-3 in San Diego’s last 20 games and 14-11-2 this season when the Padres are road favorites.

The Over is 8-4 this season when the Padres are coming off 1 day of rest and should hit again Tuesday with the inconsistent Manoah on the mound for Toronto.

BET OVER 9 (-115).
