The Los Angeles Dodgers have beaten the San Diego Padres in 8 of their last 10 meetings.
Will the Dodgers continue to keep winning against their division rivals?
The Dodgers have split their four-game series against the Colorado Rockies to stay on top of the NL West with a 73-55 record. Los Angeles is in a tight battle with the Padres, holding a full-game lead on their division rivals. This only makes the final three games of their series over this weekend arguably the most important games for both teams this season.
The Padres are oozing with confidence coming into their series after pulling off a reverse sweep against the Giants. San Diego’s pitching suffocated the Giants throughout their three-game showpiece, allowing one run each in Games 1 and 2 before outslugging San Francisco 8-4 in the series finale. Jackson Merrill is listed day-to-day with an ankle injury.

Our San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers will win.
This is a test of character for the Dodgers, who are trying to protect their position atop the NL West. In a perfect world, the Dodgers should have swept the Rockies, but faulty pitching has cost them 2 out of 4 games of that series. Los Angeles remains a potent offensive team with an average of 6.3 runs per game over the last five games. Although the Dodgers are giving up a lowly 5.19 ERA in their last five games, I believe they will be just fine because they will be starting Blake Snell on Friday.
Snell is 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA in his last five starts. He will duel against Yu Darvish, who sports a 3-2 ERA with a 5.92 ERA in his last five starts, including his August 17 start with the Dodgers, where he surrendered 4.0 runs over 4.0 innings. San Diego is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games at home, but LA Dodgers are 7-1 SU in its last 8 games against San Diego. I am taking the Dodgers by a whisker.
Our betting prediction for San Diego Padres vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers: the Dodgers will win.
