Prediction published on 7/30/24, 6:07 PM  by Bill Christy in MLB Picks

The San Diego Padres (57-51) had won 7 straight games prior to having that win streak snapped on Sunday in Baltimore as they were unable to complete their 3-game sweep of the Orioles. After falling behind 6-0 in the 3rd, the Padres tried to battle back but could never regain the lead. Tonight, they begin a short 2-game set with the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers (63-44) who avoided a losing streak on Sunday by defeating the Houston Astros 6-2. After a rough start to the month, the Dodgers have righted the ship and won 7 of their last 10 a they head into this 2-game away series with the Padres. The Dodgers will have Tyler Glasnow (8-6, 3.47) on the mound. Glasnow allowed 2 earned through 5 innings in a loss to the Giant in his last start. His previous 2 starts were even worse as he allowed 10 total runs in just 9 innings of work. He will face the Padres’ Matt Waldron (6-9, 3.64) who is coming off a win over the Nationals where he gave up 3 runs on just 4 hits. This matchup will feature 2 lineups that each rank inside the Top 10 in both combined batting average and on-base percentage.
