Defensively they are allowing 3.34 runs per game and rank #2 in the league. Tony Gonsolin leads the team with a 1.58 ERA, 69 strikeouts and 9 wins recorded.

Probable Pitcher:

Tyler Anderson (8-1, 3.23 ERA) will be on the mound for the Dodgers in the 3rd game of the series. On Monday, Anderson (8-1) was defeated by Colorado after going six innings and giving up four runs on ten hits, one walk, and two strikeouts. He  has a 4-3 record with an ERA of 2.63 and 55 strikeouts in 12 appearances versus the Padres in his career.

San Diego Padres

The Padres get here with a 46-33 record and have lost 5 of their last 6 games. The team is averaging 4.64 runs per game and they're batting for .242 AVG, have 357 runs scored in 634 hits and 64 home runs, ranking #10 in offense in the league behind the Atlanta Braves. Manny Machado is leading the team with 12 home runs and 46 RBI and a batting average of .327.

Defensively they are allowing 3.7 runs per game and rank #4 in the league. Joe Musgrove allowed three runs and five hits in seven innings. He struck out a season-high 10 and walked one and still leads the pitching staff with a 2.12 ERA, 92 strikeouts and 8 wins recorded for the Padres.

Probable Pitcher:

Yu Darvish (7-3, 3.26 ERA) will be on the mound for the Padres in the 3rd game of the series. Darvish pitched six innings against the Phillies, giving up three runs on seven hits, a walk, and nine strikeouts. He did not factor in the decision. He has a record of 2-3 with an ERA of 2.09 and 58 strikeouts in 7 appearances against the Dodgers in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

San Diego Padres are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games on the road.

San Diego Padres are 0-8 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against LA Dodgers.

The total has gone UNDER in 5 of LA Dodgers' last 7 games.

LA Dodgers are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games.

Prediction

The Padres lost the first 2 games of the series and are 1-4 against the Dodgers this season. They'll send Yu Darvish to the mound who has been really good lately. The Dodgers 8 of the last 8 games played at home vs Padres. I see great value with Darvish on the mound. He pitched 6 scoreless innings against the Angels.

PICK: Padres ML (+126)
