Dodgers vs. Padres Prediction and Pick
Instead of backing a side in this game, I'd be looking at the total. I'd recommend fading the UNDER trend for both teams, and to look at the OVER 8 runs at +105.
The Dodgers offense is unsurprisingly one of the best in the Majors, ranking fifth in batting average (.254) and third in OPS (.755). Now they get to face Darvish, who has struggled so far this season, giving up 12 hits and 10 earned runs in his last 8.1 innings pitched.
The Padres relievers have also stumbled out of the gates. San Diego ranks 24th in bullpen ERA through the first few weeks at 4.01.
With all that being said, the Padres have been strong against lefties this season, ranking inside the top 10 in OPS. Now that they're facing lefty Tyler Anderson, I think they'll be able to put some runs on the board.
Give me the OVER tonight.
Lean: OVER 8 (+105)
