The San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers clash for the final time in the regular season on Sunday at Petco Park. Seeking a three-game sweep of the Dodgers, the Padres are listed as the slight favorites at -112.
The Padres pushed their winning streak to five games following a 5-1 win over the Dodgers in Saturday’s Game 2. San Diego continued to dominate the Dodgers from the mound as Nestor Cortez took a perfect game into the sixth inning before being relieved by Jason Adam in the seventh inning. The Padres have been one of the best, if not the best, pitching teams in the MLB this season, boasting a 3.50 ERA (2nd) and 1.19 WHIP (2nd).
The Dodgers have lost three of their last four games, which has caused them to yield the top spot in the NL West to the Padres. Furthermore, Los Angeles drops to the No.2 spot in the American League wild card race with a 73-57 record, two games behind the 75-55 Chicago Cubs, who have the No.1 wild card slot in the National League.

Our San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Padres take the series. San Diego is 5-0 in its last 5 games and 7-1 SU in its last 8 games at home. They have also been dominant against the Dodgers at Petco Park, winning seven of the recent 10 games they played against Los Angeles on their home field. Nick Pivetta (13-4 with a 2.81 ERA) is hot off a sensational start against the San Francisco Giants, surrendering one earned run and striking out 10 batters in six innings pitched. The Dodgers are sending in Yoshinobu Yamamoto (10-8, 290 ERA), who has surrendered 11 earned runs in his last two starts. Los Angeles has given up a 5.14 ERA in its last five games, while San Diego is parading a formidable 1.60 ERA in their latest 5-game stretch.
Los Angeles is a team that can flip the switch anytime, but with the Padres also playing terrific baseball lately, the Dodgers will have to bring their A-game and more to avoid a three-game sweep at the hands of their division rivals.
Our betting prediction for the San Diego Padres vs. the Los Angeles Dodgers: the Padres -1.5 Runs
