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.

Padres vs. Dodgers projected starters

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

[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).

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.

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.

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)

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

Padres 4, Dodgers 2

Money line

BET a HALF-UNIT on the PADRES (+130) because they are 15-10 SU as road underdogs and there’s a “line freeze” in the betting market, which suggests the Dodgers (-160) could be a trap line.

The oddsmakers are at least comfortable taking more pro-L.A. action because nearly two-thirds of the handle is on the Dodgers according to Pregame.com but the line hasn’t budged at Tipico Sportsbook.

However, L.A. ranks higher than San Diego in the 3 most important phases of the game (starting and relief pitching and hitting) and the Under is my favorite look in the Padres-Dodgers.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS with a “lean” to the Padres +1.5 (-155) because they are 19-6 RL as road underdogs and I’d love some insurance for our San Diego ML wager.

But, the Dodgers are 30-20 RL as home favorites and 6 of their 7 meetings with the Padres have been decided by at least 2 runs.

Over/Under

BET the UNDER 8.5 (-105).

Both starters pitch better on 4 days of rest than any other rest split, and the Padres have gone Under the total in Manaea’s last 4 starts on 4 days of rest. On top of that, the Dodgers are 5-13-1 O/U in Gonsolin starts this year.

San Diego is also 12-19-1 O/U as an underdog, L.A. is 40-54-9 O/U as a favorite, Padres-Dodgers have gone Under the total in 5 of their last 7 meetings and Padres-Dodgers have a combined 33-52-4 O/U record in division games.

Most of the market is barreling into the Over 8.5 (-115) according to Pregame.com because there are sluggers littered throughout both lineups. Since both starters have above-average stuff and both bullpens are reliable, this feels like a good spot to fade the market backing the Over.

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

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

The San Diego Padres (46-34) and Los Angeles Dodgers (49-28) close out their 4-game series Sunday at 4:10 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium  Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Padres vs. Dodgers odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: Dodgers lead 5-1

The Padres have dropped the first 3 games of this series and are just 5-10 in  their last 15 games. An offensive attack that was red-hot from June 3-16 (.798 OPS) has cooled. The Friars own a .677 OPS in the last 15 games.

The Dodgers have rallied after a rough spell in early June. Los Angeles went 4-9 over a 13-game stretch from May 30-June 12. They have since gone 12-5, outscoring foes 82-48 along the way.

Padres at Dodgers projected starters

LHP MacKenzie Gore vs. LHP Clayton Kershaw

Gore (4-3, 3.34 ERA) owns a 1.33 WHIP, 4.3 BB/9 and 9.9 K/9 through 59 1/3 IP over 11 starts and 1 relief appearance.

  • Bounced back with 4 shutout innings his last start (June 24 vs. Philadelphia). That came on the heels of allowing 14 runs over 6 1/3 IP in back-to-back starts against the Colorado Rockies.
  • The 23-year-old rookie has pitched just 25 innings at Triple-A.

Kershaw (5-2, 2.94 ERA) is tabbed for his 10th start of the season. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 9.4 K/9 in 49 IP.

  • Owns a 2.97 ERA in his last 5 starts against the Padres.
  • Rocked for 2 HR and 6 R overall on 9 H with 4 BB in 4 IP in June 28 start at Colorado.

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Padres 3

Money line

Los Angeles is the lean here, but only at a price tag of -190 or better. Otherwise, LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Run line/Against the spread

The last 17 Los Angeles victories have been by margins of 2 or more runs. The Dodgers have done well in closing out recent series with decisive victories. Their offensive numbers pop in the seeing-a-pitcher-multiple-times department, and that spells trouble for the San Diego bullpen.

TAKE LOS ANGELES -1.5 (+105).

Over/Under

There is enough ammo on both sides of the equation as to make for a stalemate. And from a bettor’s standpoint, that’s a PASS.

Run line/Against the spread

Consider a partial-unit play on the DODGERS -1.5 (+135).

Anderson throws a heavy dose of change-ups, and that’s a problem pitch for Padres batters. The last 16 Los Angeles victories have been by margins of 2-or-more.

Over/Under

The weather forecast for Chavez Ravine calls for a warm day and an outward-blowing breeze. With 2 fly-ball pitchers on the mound, BACK THE OVER 7.5 (-130).

Padres at Dodgers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dodgers 5, Padres 3

Money line

San Diego ranks 20th in the league with a .686 OPS against right-handers. Los Angeles is the lean here, but only at a price tag of -170 or better. Otherwise, LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Run line/Against the spread

The Dodgers offense has struggled in the last 6 home games (.687 OPS). But the price on LOS ANGELES -1.5 (+120) is solid. Its worth a look on a partial-unit play.

Over/Under

The market has leaned heavily toward the Under in early betting. A counter bet would make sense if the total dropped to 6.5 runs. Otherwise, PASS due to conflicting signals on both sides.
