San Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Diego Padres at Arizona Diamondbacks odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres (13-11) and Arizona Diamondbacks (11-11) play the opener of a two-game set Tuesday at 9:40 p.m. ET at Chase Field. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Arizona Diamondbacks odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Chris Paddack is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 1-2 with a 5.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 8.5 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 over 18 IP through four starts. Paddack opened his season allowing three runs – two earned – and three walks in four innings in a 3-1 home loss against the Diamondbacks April 4.

RHP Merrill Kelly is the projected starting pitcher for the Diamondbacks. He is 1-2 with a 7.71 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 5.6 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 through 21 IP across four starts. Kelly coughed up three earned runs on five hits and three walks in a season-low four innings of a 4-2 loss at San Diego April 2 in his first outing of 2021. This will be his first start of the season at home.

  • Money line: Padres -155 (bet $155 to win $100) | Diamondbacks +125 (bet $100 to win $125)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Padres -1.5 (+100) | Diamondbacks +1.5 (-120)
  • Over/Under: 9 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Padres 6, Diamondbacks 3

Money line (ML)

The PADRES (-155) are worth a look against the Diamondbacks, and it’s all about the pitching matchup. Paddack won’t be confused with former San Diego starters Dave Dravecky, Eric Show or Ed Whitson, as he has gotten off to a very slow start. But he has been nowhere near as poor as Merrill, who is yielding nearly eight earned runs per nine innings.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The PADRES -1.5 (+100) are rested and raring to go after a scintillating 8-7 win at the Los Angeles Dodgers Sunday night. They covered the run line in all four games against the Dodgers, including three outright victories as underdogs. They also cashed the run line in their most recent two victories against the Snakes April 2-3.

Over/Under (O/U)

O/U 9 is going to be too close to call. I don’t trust either pitcher to hold the offenses in check, but at the same time, I don’t really trust the offenses, either.

If I had a lean, it would be to the Over, as the Padres are 3-0 O/U, averaging 6.0 runs per game, in the previous three against the Dodgers. But I think I’ll PASS here.

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

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

The San Diego Padres (12-11) and Los Angeles Dodgers (15-6) wrap up their four-game series on ESPN Sunday Night Baseball. First pitch is scheduled for 7:08 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Tied 3-3

The Dodgers won 5-4 Saturday after losing the first two games of the series: 3-2 Thursday and 6-1 Friday.

RHP Joe Musgrove is Sunday’s projected starting pitcher for San Diego. He is 2-2 with a 1.04 ERA (26 IP, 3 ER), 0.54 WHIP, 12.8 K/9 and 1.0 BB/9 in 4 starts.

  • Last outing: Loss, 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 13 K vs. Milwaukee Brewers Monday – Padres lost 3-1
  • Career vs. Dodgers: 0-3, 5.40 ERA (16 2/3 IP, 10 ER), 1.44 WHIP, 5.9 K/9 in 3 starts

The Dodgers are looking to RHP Dustin May in the finale. Through 3 starts, he is 1-1 with a 2.93 ERA (15 1/3 IP, 5 ER), 1.11 WHIP, 12.9 K/9 and 2.3 BB/9.

  • Last outing: Loss, 5 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 8 K at Seattle Mariners Monday – Dodgers lost 4-3
  • 2020 postseason vs. Padres: 1-0, 0.00 ERA (3 IP, 0 ER), 0 H, 1 BB, 4 K in 1 start and 1 relief appearance
  • Career vs. Padres (regular season): 1-3, 2.97 ERA (30 1/3 IP, 10 ER), 0.96 WHIP, 7.4 K/9 in 4 starts and 3 relief appearances

  • Money line: Padres +105 (bet $100 to win $105) | Dodgers -130 (bet $130 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Padres +1.5 (-190) | Dodgers -1.5 (+155)
  • Over/Under: 7.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Prediction

Padres 4, Dodgers 2

Money line (ML)

Based on the pitching matchup, SAN DIEGO (+105) is the way to go.

Musgrove is a stud. He might be 0-2 since tossing the Padres’ first no-hitter in franchise history April 9, but the right-hander only allowed 3 runs in those two outings.

In his first game after the no-no in which he threw 112 pitches, he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the top of the fifth inning after tossing 81 pitches.

In his next start, Musgrove was a hard-luck loser, allowing just 2 runs in 7 innings and striking out 13 in a 3-1 loss to Milwaukee.

There’s no doubt he’s capable of shutting out the Dodgers if he’s on top of his game.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Padres +1.5 (-190) is just too chalky. However, back the alternate line of PADRES -1.5 (+180) with a QUARTER-UNIT wager.

ATS records: Padres 12-11 | Dodgers 11-10

Over/Under (O/U)

Back UNDER 7.5. (-120) to win 30% OF 1 UNIT. A $100 player should bet $36 to win $30; a $10 player should bet $3.60 to win $3.

The Under is 4-0 in Musgrove’s starts and 2-1 in May’s starts.

Plus, both clubs have been paying off for Under bettors so far this season, but the last two games of this series finished Over.

Prior to the two Overs, San Diego played six Unders in a row and Los Angeles was on a 5-game Under streak.

O/U records: Padres 8-15 | Dodgers 8-13

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

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

The San Diego Padres (12-10) and Los Angeles Dodgers (14-6) play Game 3 of a four-game series Saturday at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 9:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Blake Snell is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. Over the last two seasons, Snell is 4-2 with a 3.44 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 11.98 K/9 and 3.86 BB/9 in 65.1 IP over 15 starts. He has posted a 4.11 ERA in 4 starts this season. He allowed 2 ER in 5 IP against LA April 18.

RHP Trevor Bauer is the projected starter for the Dodgers. Over 15 starts in 2020-21, Bauer is 7-4 with a 1.91 ERA, 0.75 WHIP, 12.4 K/9 and 2.1 BB/9 in 99 IP . He has clocked a 2.42 ERA through 4 starts this season; the most recent of those was a 6-inning effort (1 ER on 3 hits) against these Padres on Sunday.

  • Money line: Padres +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Dodgers -150 (bet $150 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Padres +1.5 (-160) | Dodgers -1.5 (+135)
  • Over/Under: 7 (O: -110 | U: -110)

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Padres 3

Money line (ML)

The Friars took Friday’s game, 6-1, and have allowed just three total runs in claiming games one and two of this series. The back-to-back rivalry wins come after San Diego had gone just 2-7 over its previous nine.

The Padres look to be catching the Dodgers at the right time. Los Angeles owns a mere .547 OPS over its last six games. And with the Friars starting Snell in this one, that turns the Dodgers around to their lesser platoon splits (.682 OPS vs. left-handed pitching).

Peg a bit of play on Snell, and bank on the Padres owning the better bullpen. Current Padre bats own an .858 OPS against Bauer. TAKE SAN DIEGO +125.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

Consider a PADRES +1.5 (-160) wager as an undercard bet, especially if a line watch yields a tag closer to -150. The Under is 3-1 in the last four games of this Southern California season series, and a tight game with a total near 7 would not be a surprise on Saturday.

Over/Under (O/U)

Respecting the public here, with no real lean toward any batting or pitching components being under- or over-estimated. PASS.

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

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

The San Diego Padres (10-10) visit the Los Angeles Dodgers (14-4) Thursday for the start of a four-game series. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers 2-1

The NL West rivals met last weekend at Petco Park with the Dodgers taking the first two games and the Padres avoiding a sweep with a win in the finale.

Los Angeles had Wednesday off after winning 1-0 at the Seattle Mariners Tuesday to split a two-game series. San Diego enters on a 3-game slide after getting swept at home in three by the Milwaukee Brewers.

To begin this series, Padres LHP Ryan Weathers is projected to make his second career start. The 21-year-old rookie is 1-0 with a 0.93 ERA (9 2/3 IP, 1 ER), 0.72 WHIP, 10 strikeouts and 4 walks in 3 relief appearances and 1 start.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 3 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 2 BB, 3 K vs. Dodgers Friday – Padres lost 11-6 in 12 innings
  • 2020 postseason vs. Dodgers: MLB debut, 1 relief outing, 0.00 ERA (1 1/3 IP, 0 ER), 0 H, 2 BB and 1 K

RHP Walker Buehler is the projected Dodgers’ starter. The five-year veteran is 1-0 with a 2.00 ERA (18 IP, 4 ER), 1.00 WHIP, 6.0 K/9 and 0.5 BB/9 in 3 starts.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 4 K at Padres Friday – Dodgers won 11-6 in 12 innings
  • Career vs. Padres (regular season): 4-0, 1.62 ERA (39 IP, 7 ER), 0.82 WHIP, 11.3 K/9 in 6 starts

  • Over/Under: 7.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Padres 2

Money line (ML)

PASS. The Dodgers’ (-185) price is chalkier than I prefer. The better value is actually with the Padres (+150), but I don’t like their chances against Buehler.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

LOS ANGELES -1.5 (+110) is the STRONGEST PLAY – 1½ times your usual wager.

When the Dodgers win, they cover the run line. They’ve won by at least 2 runs in 11 of their 14 overall wins this season. Both of their victories (11-6 in 12 innings and 2-0) in last weekend’s three-game series in San Diego were by at least 2 runs.

The Dodgers were 6-4 straight up vs. the Padres in the 2020 regular season and five of the six wins were by at least 2 runs. Plus, when they met in an NLDS last year, the Dodgers swept the Friars in three with two wins by at least 2 runs.

ATS records: Padres 9-11 | Dodgers 11-7

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 7.5 (+100) is worth a 0.75-UNIT wager. Both clubs are Under teams.

The Padres have played 5 Unders in a row; the Dodgers have played 4 Unders in row. Both streaks include the final 2 games of last weekend’s series at Petco as the Under went 2-1 in those 3 games.

O/U records: Padres 6-14 | Dodgers 6-12

Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Milwaukee Brewers (10-7) and San Diego Padres (10-9) play the finale of a three-game set Wednesday at 4:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Adrian Houser is the projected starting pitcher for the Brewers. He is 1-2 with a 3.14 ERA, 1.53 WHIP, 6.3 K/9 and 4.4 BB/9 over 14 1/3 IP through three starts. Houser is 0-2 with a 4.82 ERA in two starts on the road, and he allowed one unearned run with six hits, four walks and three strikeouts over five innings in a win April 10 in his only road start in St. Louis.

RHP Dinelson Lamet is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He was 3-1 with a 2.09 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 12.1 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 through 69 IP spanning 12 starts. Lamet will make his 2021 season debut after making his way back from an ulnar collateral ligament strain in his right elbow. He will be limited to 75-80 pitches.

  • Over/Under: 7 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Brewers 6, Padres 4

Money line (ML)

The BREWERS (+180) are worth playing as moderate underdogs as they look for the sweep. They have outscored the Padres (-225) by a 9-1 score through the first two outings. I like Milwaukee going up against Lamet, who could be a little rusty in his first start while working on a pitch count.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The BREWERS +1.5 (-110) are a decent play if you’re not feeling Milwaukee straight up. In three of Milwaukee’s past four losses they have been within one run.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 7 (-120) is the lean here after the Under hit in the first two in this series. The Over is 2-1 in Houser’s three starts to date with the opposition averaging 6.3 runs per game in those games. Look for the offenses to come alive a little in this series finale.

Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Milwaukee Brewers (9-7) and San Diego Padres (10-8) play the second outing of a three-game set Tuesday at 10:10 p.m. ET at Petco Park. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Corbin Burnes is the projected starting pitcher for the Brewers. He is 1-1 with a 0.49 ERA, 0.22 WHIP, 14.7 K/9 and 0.0 BB/9 over 18 1/3 IP through three starts. Burnes hasn’t walked a batter yet this season, and he has nearly been untouchable allowing just one earned run, one walk and four hits.

RHP Chris Paddack is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. He is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA, 1.46 WHIP, 6.9 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 through 13 IP spanning three starts. Paddack is coming off his best start, allowing three runs – one earned – and two walks with four strikeouts over a season-high five innings in a win at Pittsburgh Thursday. He hasn’t allowed a home run this season.

  • Over/Under: 6.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

Prediction

Brewers 4, Padres 1

Money line (ML)

The BREWERS (+100) are a great play at even money, as Burnes has been nearly untouchable this season. He has allowed one run, and he is barely allowing any hits or base runners, either.

FANTASY BASEBALL: Serious about winning your league? Sign up for BaseballHQ.com to dominate the competition. Subscribe now!

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Brewers +1.5 (-200) are a risky business, costing you two times your potential return. AVOID and just look to Milwaukee at even-money on the money line instead. It’s a much better value.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 6.5 (-110) is the lean, but play it very lightly with a quarter unit wager. The Under cashed in the opener with the same exact total of 6.5. The Under is 4-1-2 across the past seven for Milwaukee.

For San Diego, the Under has connected in each of the past three, while going 9-1 in their past 10 games at Petco.

Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Monday’s Milwaukee Brewers at San Diego Padres odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The Milwaukee Brewers (8-7) and San Diego Padres (10-7) get going with the first part of a three-game Petco Park series Monday. First pitch will be at 10:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Brewers vs. Padres odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Brandon Woodruff is the projected starting pitcher for the Brewers. He is 0-0 with a 2.12 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, 10.1 K/9, and 1.6 BB/9 in 17 IP over 3 starts this season. Woodruff was shaky in his season debut but has since allowed just 1 ER over 13 IP.

RHP Joe Musgrove is the projected starter for the Padres. Through 3 starts, Musgrove is 2-1 with a 0.47 ERA, 0.47 WHIP, 11.4 K/9, and 0.9 BB/9 through 19 IP. Monday’s turn at Petco marks Musgrove’s first home start since he tossed the first no-hitter in franchise history at the Texas Rangers April 9.

  • Over/Under: 6.5 (O: -115 | U: -105)

Prediction

Brewers 5, Padres 4

Money line (ML)

The Padres are coming off an emotional, high-leverage series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Friars dropped two of three games, and they head into this series as losers of four of their last six.

The Brewers were solid in their first road trip of the year and were a decent nine away from home last summer. Woodruff has been a terrific pitcher on the road with a 3.29 ERA on a .604 OPS allowed for his career, and is a likable play with this much of an underdog tilt.

BACK THE BREWERS (+125).

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Padres have the much better bullpen and it’d be nice to have some cushion on the Milwaukee side but STEER CLEAR of any tag pricier than -150.

Over/Under (O/U)

TAG THE OVER 6.5 (-115) AS A LEAN. Both offenses are a bit undercooked with their early-season numbers, and the pitching numbers for both teams are slightly strength-of-schedule suppressed.

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.

  • Money line: Dodgers -120 (bet $120 to win $100) | Padres +100 (bet $100 to win $100)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Dodgers -1.5 (+145) |  Padres +1.5 (-175)
  • 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.

San Diego Padres at Pittsburgh Pirates odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s San Diego Padres at Pittsburgh Pirates odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres (8-4) and Pittsburgh Pirates (4-7) play the third contest of their four-game series at PNC Park at 6:35 p.m. ET Wednesday. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Pirates odds with MLB picks and predictions.

RHP Joe Musgrove is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. In 10 starts over the last two seasons, he is 3-5 with a 2.80 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 12.0 K/9 and 2.6 BB/9 over 54 2/3 IP. The 28-year-old right-hander has exhibited an uptick in velocity while tossing 15 scoreless frames thus far in 2021. He’s coming off a no-hitter at the Texas Rangers April 9.

LHP Tyler Anderson draws Wednesday’s turn for the Pirates. In 15 appearances over 2020-21, Anderson is 4-5 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, 6.8 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 over 70 IP. The Pittsburgh lefty is coming off back-to-back losses to the Chicago Cubs with 6 total runs allowed over 10 1/3 innings.

Padres at Pirates odds, lines, picks and prediction

MLB odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated at 3:05 p.m. ET.

  • Money line: Padres -200 (bet $200 to win $100) | Pirates +170 (bet $100 to win $170)
  • Against the spread/ATS: Padres -1.5 (-120) | Pirates +1.5 (+100)
  • Over/Under: 8 (O: -105 | U: -115)

Prediction

Padres 6, Pirates 4

Money line (ML)

The Padres are tough on lefty pitching and have the better bullpen. The Friars are a decent value play up to -190.

PASS OTHERWISE.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

TAKE PADRES -1.5 (-120).

Look for San Diego to play its platoon-bullpen-offensive advantage into a multi-run win in a higher scoring game than what’s forecasted by the 8-run total.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over had a slight lean and barely hit on a line of 7.5 Monday. Tuesday’s game figured as a solid Over (again on a 7.5), and the Pirates won 8-4. The weather report calls for a hitter’s breeze out to left in Wednesday’s game.

Musgrove threw 112 pitches in his no-no and has a checkered history — though one with bigger misfires than hits — in starts after 95-plus pitches. Anderson — a fly-ball pitcher — has coughed up 3 HR in 10 IP. Current SD batters own a .907 OPS against him.

The Padres also own an early .309/.406/.506 slash line against southpaws.

TAKE THE OVER 8 (-105).

San Diego Padres at Pittsburgh Pirates odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s San Diego Padres at Pittsburgh Pirates odds and lines, with MLB picks and predictions.

The San Diego Padres (8-3) and Pittsburgh Pirates (3-7) play the second contest of their four-game PNC Park series at 6:35 p.m. ET on Tuesday. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Pirates odds with MLB picks and predictions.

LHP Blake Snell is the projected starting pitcher for the Padres. Through two starts, the Ray-turned-Padre is 0-0 with a 1.86 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 14.9 K/9 and 5.6 BB/9 in 9 2/3 IP.

RHP Chad Kuhl is the projected starter for the Pirates. Through his first two efforts, Kuhl is 0-1 with a 6.43 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 9.0 K/9, and 10.3 BB/9 in 7 IP. The 28-year-old righty walked five in his last outing, a four-inning turn against Cincinnati Wednesday.

Money line (ML)

PASS: The prices here bracket the likely true odds.

Run line/Against the spread (ATS)

The Padres won the series opener, 6-2, and are now 4-0 in road games against the run line. But the Friars (4.09 runs per game) and Bucs (3.60) rank 20th and 23rd in scoring, respectively. San Diego was a decent play with Monday’s pitching matchup, and the Padres have taken on the early money in this one.

But now the value pendulum swings back the other way, and there is contrarian leverage with the price on Pittsburgh. TAKE THE PIRATES +1.5 (+110). A line-watch for an even better tag is recommended.

Over/Under (O/U)

The Over had a slight lean in what was a push (on an 8) Monday. The weather for Tuesday calls for a temp in the high-60s and an outward breeze.

Mix in Tuesday’s starters, Monday’s bullpen use and Tuesday’s lack of change in the number to get our result.

TAKE THE OVER 8 (-105).
