by Joseph King | in MLB Prediction
A classic NL West rivalry in Major League Baseball pits the San Diego Padres up against the Los Angeles Dodgers when the two face off at Petco Park. The Padres are in a good position to secure themselves one of the three Wild Card spots but will have to end the season strongly to assure themselves a place in the postseason. The hosts have a 85-68 record on the year and currently hold a three game lead over Milwaukee who is looking to sneak into the Wild Card with only a handful of games remaining. On the other side, the Dodgers have been the dominant team in the 2022 season and hold a league best 106-47 record.

San Diego Padres & Los Angeles Dodgers Squad Analysis
Padres starter Blake Snell has gotten better as the year has worn on and is coming off arguably his best two-game stretch of the season. Snell looked back to his old Cy Young award winning self when he struck out 13 batters against the Cardinals in a game that the Padres would ultimately win 1-0. On the other side, the Padres will be tested against lefty Tyler Anderson who is 15-4 on the season with an excellent 2.52 ERA. San Diego should be confident of getting to Anderson though, as the Pads have improved their hitting against left-handed pitchers in the last 30 days.
San Diego Padres - Los Angeles Dodgers Key Points
- Padres starter Blake Snell has been on fire in his recent starts, giving up only one earned run and striking out an incredible 20 batters in 14 innings of work.
- The Padres have looked better against lefty pitchers in the last month, totaling the third fewest strikeouts vs lefties in the last 30 days with 44.
- While Dodgers starter Tyler Anderson has been fantastic this season, Los Angeles has lost two of the last four with the 32-year-old on the mound.
- Both teams have been in good form, winning seven of their last 10, but it’s the Padres with more to play for as they seek to lock up their Wild Card position.
