The San Diego Padres (57-50) and Baltimore Orioles (61-43) conclude their 3-game series Sunday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is set for 1:35 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 2-0

San Diego won its 7th straight game Saturday, 9-4 over the Orioles after winning the Friday opener 6-4. RHP Michael King quelled Baltimore’s offense to just 2 runs over 6 1/3 innings Saturday and Padres 3B Manny Machado put away the team that drafted him with a 3-run blast in the 7th. San Diego improved to 31-22 on the road and 56-51 against the spread (ATS).

Baltimore’s defense failed SP Dean Kremer (6 IP, 7 H, 1 ER, 1BB, 7 K) with 2 costly errors early in the game. CF Cedric Mullins provided all of the Orioles offense, going 2-for-4 with a HR, double and 4 RBIs. Baltimore has lost 5 of its last 6 games and is 13-18 during interleague play.

Padres at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 7, Orioles 5

Moneyline

BET PADRES (+136).

The Padres continue to play great baseball. They’ve won 7 straight coming into Sunday’s game and I’m going to ride that momentum. The pitching staff has allowed just 11 total runs and tossed 3 shutouts over the 7-game run. Vasquez has found his groove over the last 5 starts, going 2-1 allowing just 5 total ER in 26 1/3 IP.

The Orioles are the better team, but right now they are in a bit of a funk coming out of the All-Star break. Saurez is 2-4 over his last 6 starts, allowing 12 ER over his last 3 starts. The continued pitching woes are why the Orioles acquired RHP Zach Eflin from the Tampa Bay Rays.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Since we’re backing the Padres’ moneyline, let’s stay away from the run line.

Over/Under

PASS.

I was confident the Saturday game would go Under, but obviously it did not. I’m gun-shy to give an official pick, but my lean would be the Over considering the pitching matchup.

San Diego Padres at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s San Diego Padres at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (56-50) and Baltimore Orioles (61-42) play game 2 of a 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is set for 4:05 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Padres lead 1-0

Padres LF Jurickson Profar went deep twice Friday, the 2nd of which broke a 9th-inning tie and lifted San Diego to a 6-4 win as a +174 underdog with the Over (9) cashing by a run. It was the Padres’ 6th consecutive victory. 2B Xander Bogaerts went 3 for 4, including an RBI double as The Padres improved to 30-22 on the road this season and 55-51 against the spread (ATS).

Baltimore SP Grayson Rodriguez gave the Orioles a chance, allowing just 2 runs on 7 hits and no walks over 5 innings. The O’s could not get much going offensively besides solo home runs from RF Anthony Santander and 3B Jordan Westburg. Baltimore has lost 4 of their last 5 and are 13-17 during intraleague play this season.

Padres at Orioles projected starters

RHP Michael King vs. RHP Dean Kremer

King (8-6, 3.28 ERA) makes his 21st start and 22nd appearance. He has a 1.19 WHIP, 3.3 BB/9 and 10.3 K/9 in 118 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 7 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 6 K in 2-1 victory at the Guardians Sunday
  • 2024 road splits: 7-2, 2.60 ERA (69 1/3 IP, 20 ER), 1.11 WHIP, 8.3 K/9 in 12 games
  • Career vs. Orioles: 2-1, 2.63 ERA (27 1/3 IP, 8 ER), 0.91 WHIP, 9.2 K/9 in 13 games (1 start)
  • Only start vs Orioles: No-decision, 4 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 BB, 3 K in 6-5 road victory Sept. 4, 2020, as member of New York Yankees

Kremer (4-6, 4.43 ERA) makes his 14th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 3.7 BB/9 and 8.6 K/9 in 69 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 3 BB, 2 K in 3-2 defeat at Texas Rangers Sunday
  • 2024 home splits: 1-3, 6.16 ERA (30 2/3 IP, 21 ER), 1.53 WHIP, 8.5 K/9 in 6 starts

Padres at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 5, Orioles 2

Moneyline

BET PADRES (+102).

The Padres are red hot right now. They’ve won 6 straight coming into Saturday’s game and I’m going to ride that momentum. The pitching staff has allowed just 7 total runs and tossed 3 shutouts over the 6-game run. King may not be their ace, but he’s won 3 of his last 4 starts allowing just 1 run in each for a 1.48 ERA (24 1/3 IP, 4 ER).

The Orioles are the better team, but right now they are in a bit of a funk coming out of the All-star break. Kremer is 1-4 over his last 6 starts with a 5.65 ERA (28 2/3 IP, 18 ER). These pitching woes is one of the reasons the Orioles bolstered their rotation Friday with the addition of RHP Zach Eflin in a trade with Tampa Bay.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Since we’re backing the Orioles’ moneyline, let’s stay away from the run line.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-115).

The Under is 7-3 in the Padres’ last 10 games thanks mostly to superb pitching the last 2 weeks. Expect that to continue Saturday with King on the mound. The Under has hit in his last 3 starts.

San Diego Padres at Baltimore Orioles odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s San Diego Padres at Baltimore Orioles odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (55-50) and Baltimore Orioles (61-41) begin a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Oriole Park at Camden Yards is set for 7:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Orioles odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting; Padres won 2 of 3 in 2023

The Padres will wrap up their 9-game East Coast road trip in Baltimore. They’ve won 5 straight after sweeping the Washington Nationals, highlighted by Dylan Cease‘s no-hitter in a 3-0 win on Thursday. San Diego outscored Washington 19-3 over their 3-game set. They are 29-22 on the road this season and 54-51 against the spread (ATS).

Baltimore snapped a 3-game losing streak on Thursday with a 7-6 victory in 10innings over the Miami Marlins. The Orioles squandered a 6-run lead before 1B Ryan Mountcastle‘s go-ahead single in the 10th inning. Baltimore got home runs from RF Anthony Santander, CF Colton Cowser, and 2B Connor Norby. They are 30-22 at home and 55-47 ATS.

Padres at Orioles projected starters

RHP Adam Mazur vs. RHP Grayson Rodriguez

Mazur (1-3, 7.84 ERA) makes his 8th career start. He has a 1.84 WHIP, 5.5 BB/9 and 6.1 K/9 in 31 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 2 BB, 6 K in 8-3 loss against the Seattle Mariners on July 9
  • 2024 road splits: 0-1, 4.61 ERA (13 2/3 IP, 7 ER), 1.61 WHIP, 6.6 K/9 in 3 starts
  • Rookie has never started against Baltimore

Rodriguez (12-4, 3.83 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.22 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 in 105 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 2 BB, 8 K in 8-4 victory at Texas Rangers Saturday
  • 2024 home splits: 5-2, 3.14 ERA (48 2/3 IP, 17 ER), 1.11 WHIP, 9.6 K/9 in 8 games
  • Only start vs. Padres: Loss, 7 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 6 K in a 4-1 road victory on Aug. 14, 2023

  • Moneyline (ML): Padres +172 (bet $100 to win $172) | Orioles -205 (bet $205 to win $100)
  • Run line (RL)/Against the spread (ATS): Padres +1.5 (-118) | Orioles -1.5 (+102)
  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: -122 | U: +100)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Orioles picks and predictions

Prediction

Orioles 5, Padres 3

Moneyline

PASS.

I’ve got the Orioles (-205) winning this game, but I’m staying away from that moneyline. I’m not willing to pay all that juice.

Run line/Against the spread

BET ORIOLES -1.5 (+102).

This will be a difficult series for the Orioles, but Baltimore doesn’t have to face a red-hot Cease and the Padres have to face Rodriguez, who has won 4 of his last 5 starts and allowing a total of 7 ER in those 4 victories. The team has a 3.59 ERA at Camden Yards on the season.

The Padres are throwing out Mazur who has just 1 win on the season. He has allowed at least 3 ER in each of his last 4 starts.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (+100).

I will say that this is a lukewarm recommendation. These 2 teams went Under in 2 of their last 3 meetings. The Padres have been Under in 8 of their last 10 games, but the Orioles have been Over in 4 of their last 5. Which is why I’m not as high as I’d like to be on this bet.

I’d probably keep this bet to half a unit and put more on the run line bet.

Let’s analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Guardians odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

RHP Dylan Cease allowed 1 hit and struck out 10 in 7 IP as the Padres beat the Cleveland Guardians 7-0 Saturday. RF David Peralta went 2-for-3 with a HR and 2 runs scored and DH Jake Cronenworth had a HR and 3 RBIs as San Diego improved its road record to 25-22.

Cleveland also lost 7-0 on Friday and have been shut out in 3 of its last 5 games. Their lone hit Saturday was a 3rd-inning triple from CF Tyler Freeman. Despite falling for the 6th time in their last 9 games, Cleveland is 31-12 at home.

King (7-6, 3.41 ERA) makes his 20th start and 21st appearance. He has a 1.23 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 10.5 K/9 in 111 IP.

Padres at Guardians picks and predictions

Prediction

Guardians 4, Padres 2

Moneyline

BET GUARDIANS (-104).

I love the Guardians on Sunday afternoon. I love them even more knowing that they were embarrassed on Saturday being held to 1 hit. They don’t lose like that, especially at home where they are nearly 20 games above .500. Plus you’ve got Lively on the mound, who has been fantastic at Progressive Field this season. They win this game walking away and send San Diego packing on a down note.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I love the Guardians to win, I don’t need that run and to pay all that juice. I’ll stick with the moneyline bet.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-110).

All the trends are pushing us toward the Under. Both games in this series thus far have gone Under. Cleveland has been Under in 6 straight games, while the Padres have been Under in 3 of their last 4.

You also have 2 pitchers on the mound with under 4 ERA on the season. Lively hasn’t allowed more than 3 ER in any home start this season. King has allowed just 1 ER in each of his last 4 road starts.

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

  • Over/Under (O/U): 8.5 (O: -120 | U: +100)

[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 Milwaukee Brewers odds, picks and predictions

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

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The San Diego Padres (61-69) will close out a 3-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers (72-57) on Sunday at American Family Field. First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Brewers odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Brewers lead 5-1

The Padres were defeated by the Brewers 5-4 on Saturday despite SS Xander Bogaerts and OF Juan Soto hitting home runs. San Diego has won only 4 of its last 10 contests and is 7 games back of the Arizona Diamondbacks for the final NL Wild-Card spot.

The win Saturday extended the Brewers winning streak to 7 games and Milwaukee has now jumped out to a 4-game lead over the Chicago Cubs for 1st place in the NL Central.

Padres at Brewers projected starters

RHP Michael Wacha vs. RHP Adrian Houser

Wacha (10-2, 2.63 ERA) makes his 17th start. He has a 1.07 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 96 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 7 K in a 6-2 home victory against the Miami Marlins on Monday
  • Road stats: 3-0, 3.23 ERA (39 IP, 14 ER) in 7 starts
  • Career vs. Brewers: 6-1, 3.99 ERA (79 IP, 35 ER) in 15 starts and 1 relief appearance.

Houser (5-4, 4.28 ERA) makes his 17th start and 18th appearance. He has a 1.46 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 88 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 7 K in a 6-2 road win over the Texas Rangers last Sunday
  • Home stats: 2-1, 4.12 ERA (39 1/3 IP, 18 ER) in 7 starts and 1 relief appearance.
  • Career vs. Padres: 0-1, 1.86 ERA (29 IP, 6 ER) in 5 starts and 1 relief appearance.

  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: -105 | U: -115)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Padres at Brewers picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 4, Brewers 3

Moneyline

Even though the Brewers have strung together 7 consecutive wins, I’ll back the PADRES (-120) on Sunday with Wacha taking the mound. Wacha hasn’t given up more than 2 ER in a start since April 26 at the Cubs.

Run line/Against the spread

While the Brewers should keep this game close, go ahead and PASS on the run line in this matchup. Unless you can get Milwaukee’s spread at -160 or better, I wouldn’t advise wagering on the run line.

Over/Under

UNDER 9 (-115) is the lean as Wacha has been dominant and San Diego’s bats have been quiet recently. Houser has allowed 3 ER or more in 3 of his last 5 starts, but the Padres have produced 4 or fewer runs in 8 of their last 10 games.

Padres at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Padres 4

Moneyline

I’ll back the YANKEES (-145) at home in Saturday’s interleague matchup despite that they’ve lost 3 games in a row. New York is 17-13 at home compared to San Diego’s 12-12 record on the road this season.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Unless you can get the Padres’ run line at -160 odds or better, then I’d advise avoiding the spread in this game and just focusing on the moneyline and/or total.

Over/Under

OVER 8.5 (-110) is an intriguing wager despite how Wacha has been pitching recently for the Padres. Wacha owns an 8.2% barrel percentage and the Yankees boast a .199 ISO (5th best in baseball) at home against right-handed pitching.

The Padres have also shown some life with their bats in recent games and Severino is only making his 2nd start of the season.

The San Diego Padres (23-27) begin a 3-game series against the New York Yankees (30-22) on Friday at Yankee Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET (Apple TV+). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: First meeting since the Yankees took 2 of 3 games from the Padres in 2019

The Yankees fell to the Baltimore Orioles 3-1 Thursday, handing them a 2nd consecutive loss. New York has still gone 7-3 in its last 10 games and is in 3rd place in the AL East, trailing the Tampa Bay Rays by 7 games.

Padres at Yankees projected starters

RHP Joe Musgrove vs. RHP Randy Vasquez

Musgrove (1-2, 6.75 ERA) makes his 6th start. He has a 1.58 WHIP, 3.4 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 through 24 IP.

  • Has surrendered 3-plus runs in 4 of his first 5 outings
  • Has given up at least 1 HR in 4 of his first 5 starts

Vasquez will make his major league debut. He has a 1-5 record with a 4.85 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, 4.9 BB/9 and 10.5 K/9 through 42 2/3 IP in 9 starts in Triple-A this season.

Padres at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Padres 5

Moneyline

Even with the Padres having the more experienced pitcher, the YANKEES (-105) are the pick in this matchup. New York is 10-1 in its last 11 interleague games against a right-handed pitcher.

Run line/Against the spread

YANKEES +1.5 (-160) is how I’d wager on the run line in this interleague showdown if you’d like to get a run of insurance and aren’t totally comfortable with the moneyline. However, I wouldn’t bet this line any steeper than -160.

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

Over/Under

OVER 9 (-120) is an enticing wager with Musgrove sputtering to begin the season and Vasquez making his debut in the majors. The Yankees boast the 4th-best ISO (.206) against right-handed pitchers at home this season, so they should produce a decent number of runs on Musgrove.

New York has gone Over in 9 of its last 10 home games.

The San Diego Padres (22-27) will conclude a 3-game series against the Washington Nationals (21-28) on Thursday at Nationals Park. First pitch is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Padres vs. Nationals odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 1-1

The Padres lost 5-3 to the Nationals on Wednesday, snapping a 2-game winning streak. San Diego is 3-7 in its last 10 contests and is currently in 4th place in the NL West.

  • Has given up multiple ER in each of his 9 starts and has walked 3-plus batters in 6 of his 9 starts

Padres at Nationals picks and predictions

Prediction

Padres 6, Nationals 5

Moneyline

PASS.

Even though I have the Padres winning, taking their moneyline at the current odds (-185) isn’t advised.

Run line/Against the spread

NATIONALS +1.5 (-105) is how I’d bet the run line with both of these teams struggling recently. Washington doesn’t strike out much against left-handed pitching (they have a league-best 17.1% strikeout rate against LHP) and should be able to keep this game within 2 runs.

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

Over/Under

With Snell and Irvin on the mound in Thursday’s showdown, OVER 9 (-120) is an enticing wager. Snell and Irvin are walking batters at an alarming rate and both of them are allowing a lot of hard contact.

The Nationals are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games following a win and the Over is 7-3-1 in the last 11 meetings in Washington.

Dodgers at Padres projected starters

LHP Clayton Kershaw vs. RHP Yu Darvish

Kershaw (5-1, 1.89 ERA) makes his 7th start. He has a 0.76 WHIP, 1.2 BB/9 and 9.7 K/9 through 38 IP.

Dodgers at Padres picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 4, Padres 2

Moneyline

With Kershaw pitching at a Cy Young level right now, I’ll back the DODGERS (-115) on the road in Friday’s NL West tilt.

Run line/Against the spread

DODGERS -1.5 (+145) has good value with Kershaw’s dominant pitching and considering that Los Angeles’ bats are in a great rhythm right now. The Dodgers have won 26 of the last 38 meetings with the Padres and we only need them to win by 2 runs to cover the run line.

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

Over/Under

UNDER 7.5 (+100) is how I’d bet on the run total with Kershaw and Darvish having career success in this matchup. The Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in San Diego.
