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

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Diego Padres at Los Angeles Dodgers Game 2 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres continue their best-of-5 NL Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Wednesday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch will be at 8:37 p.m. (FS1). Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers with MLB picks and predictions.

Series: Dodgers lead 1-0; they won regular-season series 14-5

The Dodgers jumped on RHP Mike Clevinger early in Tuesday’s Game 1, thanks to a home run by SS Trea Turner. A 5th inning HR by 1B Wil Myers started a brief Padres rally that kept the game close, but once LHP Julio Urias finished the inning, L.A. relievers only allowed 3 hits.

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 Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Mets 3

Moneyline

deGrom was not dominant in September. He allowed 3 or more runs in each of his final 4 starts, logging a 6.00 ERA over 21 innings over that span.

The Padres won 2 straight games in each 3-game regular-season series.

Snell allowed only 2 runs over his final 4 starts for a 0.72 ERA across 25 innings.

Take the PADRES (+150).

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres were 44-37 ATS on the road in the regular season. The Mets were 41-40 ATS at Citi Field entering the postseason.

Only 5 teams had more road wins than the Padres’ 45 in the regular season.

You should go with the moneyline if you like the Padres to win — it offers so much more value. However, if you prefer the spread, taking the Padres to cover is still worth a wager.

Take the PADRES +1.5 (-165).

Over/Under

Five of the 7 meetings between these sides in 2022 have had 6 or more total runs.

deGrom’s last 3 starts and 4 of the 5 he had in September had 6 or more total runs.

Including Game 1, 5 of the Padres’ last 6 games have had at least 6 total runs, while the Mets’ last 20 games have all had 6 or more runs.

Take OVER 5.5 (-108).

NL Wild Card Series Game 1: San Diego Padres at New York Mets odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s San Diego Padres at New York Mets Game 1 odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres and New York Mets play Game 1 of an NL Wild Card Series Friday at Citi Field. First pitch is slated for 8:07 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Mets odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Padres won 4-2

The Padres went 6-7 over the last couple of weeks of the season but held on to the 2nd NL Wild Card spot. They’re expected to be rolled over in this series against by a dominant Mets pitching staff, but the Friars could be a dangerous team. One reason: OF Juan Soto. He has a 1.001 OPS, .303 batting average, 16 home runs and 42 RBI in 68 games in his career against the Mets.

The Mets come into this one with a chip on their shoulder. They led the NL East for most of the season, but the Atlanta Braves swept them to take the crown in the final week. They actually played pretty well down the stretch, going 12-6 over their final 18 games. One question that will need to be answered is: How will RBI-champ 1B Pete Alonso fare in his first postseason action?

Darvish (16-8, 3.10 ERA) posted a 0.95 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 9.1 K/9 through 194 2/3 IP across 30 regular-season starts.

2 starts vs. Mets in 2022: 2-0, 0.64 ERA, 0.50 WHIP, 9.6 K/9
Postseason career: 2-5, 5.18 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9, 8.5 K/9 over 7 starts

1 start vs. Padres in 2022: 6 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K

Padres at Mets picks and predictions

Prediction

Mets 4, Padres 2

Moneyline

I like the Mets to ride Scherzer to victory here. I have concerns about their bats and middle relief, though. If San Diego is able to get Scherzer’s pitch count up to get him out within 18 outs, they could steal this one.

But, the Mets are at home with a foul taste in their mouths, and they have a proven stud on the mound. Darvish has had serious questions in his postseason past.

Take the METS (-155).

Run line/Against the spread

As mentioned, the Mets went 12-6 over the last 18, and 10 of those victories were by 2 runs or more. The Padres’ hitters are a little green when it comes to playoffs outside of Soto. That could be the edge the Mets need.

LEAN METS -1.5 (+145) for a decent return.

Over/Under

It’s a 63-degree night with a brisk 10-mph gust coming in from left-center field. The Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these teams in New York. This is a small number with a lot of unknown variables at play.

I’ll LEAN UNDER 6.5 (-125) for a HALF-UNIT.

Season series: Padres lead 12-5

The Giants lost for just the 3rd time in their last 14 games after dropping a 7-4 decision in the series opener Monday.

San Francisco RHP Shelby Miller recorded the loss in a relief appearance, allowing 5 ER on 2 H with 1 K through 1 1/3 IP. San Diego starter RHP Joe Musgrove threw 6 scoreless innings and LF Wil Myers hit a 3-run HR to cap off a 7-run 8th inning.

The Padres remain 1 game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies for the 2nd spot in the NL wild-card standings. Philadelphia holds the season-series tiebreaker, in case the Phillies and Padres finish with the same record.

Giants at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Giants 2

Moneyline

BET PADRES (-155).

San Diego is still playing for seeding in the NL wild-card standings. The Padres’ offense got back on track Monday putting up 7 runs in 1 inning and should lead San Diego to another win Tuesday. Manaea has also been solid for San Diego in his last 3 appearances, allowing a combined 6 ER through 12 2/3 IP.

Run line/Against the spread

BET PADRES -1.5 (+135).

Four of the Padres’ last 5 wins have been by multiple runs. Despite how good Rodón has been this season, San Diego hasn’t seemed to struggle vs. the lefty and should be able to win convincingly Tuesday.

Over/Under

PASS.

The Padres’ offense looked dangerous in the 8th inning Monday, but Rodón is still one of the best strikeout pitchers in MLB. There is too much conflicting data in this matchup to confidently bet the total either way.

Chicago White Sox at San Diego Padres odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Chicago White Sox at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB expert picks and predictions.

After having won the opener Friday night, the Chicago White Sox (78-79) take on the San Diego Padres (86-71) for the 2nd game of their 3-game series. First pitch is at 8:40 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the White Sox vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: White Sox lead 1-0

The White Sox have now won 2 games in a row following an 8-game skid. They have their young stud RHP Dylan Cease on the hill, but they have been eliminated from postseason contention. They could have a tighter leash on him than a normal start to preserve him.

The Padres have lost 3 straight games and 5 of their last 8 overall. They maintain the 2nd Wild Card spot in the National League with a 1-game lead over the Phillies. They are just 1.5 games from falling out of the postseason, though.

White Sox at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, White Sox 2

Money line

PASS.

Darvish is on a roll, the Padres have won 8 of their last 12 games and the White Sox just snapped an 8-game losing streak.

Martin has taken all his losses as a starter this season and San Diego is 41-34 at home.

One would expect the Padres to win but the price doesn’t make it worth any action on the money line.

Run line/Against the spread

The last 5 starts for Darvish have been wins by at least 2 runs. The Padres do have the majors’ worst home ATS record at 26-49, tied with the White Sox, but the White Sox lost all 8 games in their losing streak by multiple runs.

Take the PADRES -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

Six of the White Sox’s last 10 games have had 8 or more runs.

Three of the Padres’ last 7 games have had 8 or more total runs.

There have been 8 or more total runs in 3 of Darvish’s last 5 starts.

I LEAN OVER 7.5 (-107).

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Padres 2

Money line

It is a bullpen game for the Dodgers against an unannounced pitcher for the Padres. There are lots of unknowns.

However, if you look only at the season series and see that the Dodgers have won 13 of 18 games against the Padres this season and that the Padres, who have 1 win in this series, have not won more than 1 game in any series this season against the Dodgers, you know which way to go.

Take the DODGERS (-112).

Run line/Against the spread

The Padres are baseball’s worst team at covering the spread at home. They are 26-48 ATS at home this season.

Of the Dodgers’ 107 victories this season, 91 have been by at least 2 runs.

Knowing nothing else but those 2 stats, you take DODGERS -1.5 (+145).

Over/Under

Ten of the 18 games between the 2 teams have had totals of 8 or more runs, but neither game this series reached the 8-run mark.

Three of the Padres’ 4 games before this series had 8 or more runs.

The Dodgers’ bullpen has been great this season with a 2.93 ERA.

The Padres are in the top 10 in total ERA and bullpen ERA.

Take UNDER 7.5 (-108).

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.
