Preview

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres will play the 2nd game of the series at the Dodger Stadium on Friday night. The Dodgers took the win 3-1 in the first game of the series. Turner homered twice, including a go-ahead two-run shot in the seventh inning to help the team to win the game.

Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers get here with a 47-28 record and have won 3 of their last 5 games. The team is averaging 5 runs per game and they're batting for .252 AVG, 368 runs scored in 626 hits and 89 home runs, ranking #1 in offense in the league barely above the New York Yankees. Mookie Bets leads the team batting for .303 AVG. and 17 home runs. Trea Turner has 53 RBI. 

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:

Tony Gonsolin (9-0, 1.58 ERA) will be on the mound for the Dodgers in the 2nd game of the series. In 5.2 innings against Atlanta on Sunday, Gonsolin allowed one run on five hits and two walks while striking out five. He has a record of 2-0 with an ERA of 1.96 and 18 strikeouts in 4 appearances against the Padres in his career.

San Diego Padres

The Padres get here with a 46-32 record and have lost 4 of their last 5 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:

Blake Snell (0-5, 5.60 ERA) will be on the mound for the Padres in the 2nd game of the series. Snell (0-5) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 5.2 innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Phillies. He is 1-0 with an ERA of 1.75 and 33 strikeouts in 6 appearances against the Dodgers in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

San Diego Padres are 1-5 SU in their last 6 games on the road.

San Diego Padres are 0-7 SU in their last 7 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 of the series in a very close game. Musgrove did his job but the team couldn't help him offensively to win the game. They'll have a toughest test against Gonsolin who has been outstanding this season while the Padres are sending Blake Snell woh has struggled this season and has allowed 4 runs in each of his last 2 starts. If the Padres couldn't beat the Dodgers with Musgrove on the mound I don't give them much hopes against Gonsolin. Take the Dodgers with the run line.

PICK: Dodgers -1.5 (+110)
