Before making any Padres vs. Dodgers picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the S portsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is a 309-266 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
The model knows Los Angeles catcher Will Smith is an excellent athlete behind the plate. Smith plays superb defense with great instincts and a solid throwing arm. The 27-year-old can hit for both power and average. His batting average is .263 with 20 home runs and 79 RBI.
