Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/25/24, 6:42 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

The Padres won Game 1 against the Dodgers on Tuesday, also to secure their playoff berth, in spectacular fashion with a triple play by third base. The Padres' second half was pretty good, making them one of the most lucrative teams to bet on, they have won 8 of the last 10 as the season is winding down, and they are just 2 games behind the Dodgers and could venture to take the division lead, as the Dodgers are only 2 games ahead of them.

31-20 is the record of both the Dodgers and Padres in Game 2 of the series. Betting sites have placed the Angels, with Flaherty starting the game, as favorites to win this game with odds as high as -135. But it doesn't seem like a sure bet at all since the Padres are the second-most underdog and home team in MLB with a 25-16 record.

Machado, who created the triple play to end the game, told the media that "We're not done," referring to the fact that they have little time to celebrate and the Padres' focus is instead on making things difficult for the Dodgers and with their eyes set on the postseason.
