Our Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction
The Dodgers are a significant favorite in this game; therefore, we will be targeting the over. This specifically goes to the home/away splits for the starting pitchers. Most notably, Canning has made five appearances (four starts) on the road this season, in which he has allowed 19 earned runs over 20.1 innings.
Yamamoto, on the other hand, has made eight starts at home this season, having allowed 18 runs (17 earned) over 50.1 innings. While these numbers are more than solid, Yamamoto has still performed worse at home compared to on the road. Add in the fact that the Dodgers’ offense ranks first in runs per game, and our Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres prediction is: Over 8.5 Total Runs.
