For the Dodgers, Monday’s contest marks the opening of stop No. 3 in a three-city road trip. LA is 5-1 on the trip so far. The Padres are returning home after playing in San Francisco and Denver (posting a mark of 3-4).
The Los Angeles injuries are meaningful, but the Dodgers are an incredibly deep club that’s able to weather a couple key regulars being down. LA has won five straight at Petco; the price on consecutive win No. 6 is fair. TAKE LOS ANGELES -129.
