Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction & Betting Tips - MLB
by Joseph King | in MLB Prediction
A west coast rivalry in Major League Baseball sees the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres for the third and final game of the series. It’s always an entertaining affair when these two teams face off, even more so now that they are the top two teams in the NL West. Unfortunately for the visiting Padres, they are paired with MLB’s best record in the Dodgers who sit at 74-33 in the standings. Los Angeles holds a massive 14.5 game lead over their second-place opponents and will be looking to further widen the gap in this one. San Diego sits on a 61-49 record as they seek a playoff berth by way of the Wild Card. The Pads currently hold the second Wild Card spot with a half game lead over the resurgent Phillies.

The home team Los Angeles comes into this game as the betting favorites with a price of 1.73 to get the win. The visiting Padres are available at odds of 2.16 while the total sits at 8.5 juiced towards the over with a price of 1.83.

Los Angeles has now ripped off seven straight wins after the back-to-back victories over San Diego.

As we mentioned before, the Dodgers have had their way with their opponents throughout the season and hold a 7-2 series lead.

Los Angeles Dodgers & San Diego Padres Squad Analysis
Tyler Anderson gets the start for LA and has seen his efforts this season earn the 30-year-old his first All-Star appearance. Anderson has a 12-1 record this year with an ERA of 2.89. He faces off against Yu Darvish for San Diego who is 10-4 on the year with a 3.30 ERA. Darvish made it through six innings in his last outing against the Rockies, allowing three earned runs on six hits in what would ultimately be a big win for the Padres. Worryingly for San Diego, Darvish allowed two homers against Colorado and will now have to contend with arguably the best lineup in baseball.

Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction
We’re going to back the Dodgers to keep their impressive winning streak going and finish off the sweep with another win over the Padres. This is a tough spot for San Diego, who come up against a rampaging LA team that is hitting the ball extremely well at the moment. Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish is having a good year but could very likely struggle against this powerhouse of a lineup that the Dodgers possess. LA starter Anderson will look to bounce back here with a better showing and should have more success against a Padres lineup that is one of the worst in baseball against lefties. Back the boys in blue to get it done yet again.

Over 8.5 runs
