Padres vs Dodgers Prediction & Pick
Traveling to play LA has simply been a nightmare for the Padres as of late; they have now lost 17 of their last 20 games inside Dodger Stadium. The offense has disappeared for San Diego, which has to be a concern as they have dropped all the way down to 25th when it comes to runs per game (4.03).
Facing Tony Gonsolin is not going to do San Diego any favors, either. The 29-year-old has been great so far this season, posting a 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in three starts. Keep in mind Gonsolin faced the Padres twice la st season and gave up only 1 earned run across 12.2 innings of work (2-0 record).
The Padres will counter with Ryan Weathers, who has logged a 3.79 ERA and 1.11 WHIP across five pitching appearances so far (18.0 innings). Opting to do anything besides back the Dodgers here seems like a bad idea considering they are riding an eight-game winning streak in front of their fans.
Final Score Prediction:'Padres: 3 | Dodgers: 5
Padres vs Dodgers Best Bet
These are two of the deepest lineups in baseball, but that doesn't mean the over is a lock. In fact, the total has hit the under in nine of San Diego's last 10 games as well as in six of the Dodgers' last eight games. The under has also cashed in each of the last five matchups between San Diego and LA. The successes of Gonsolin and Weathers only drive home that backing the under is the way to go here.
