BETTING TRENDS

LA Dodgers are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games against San Diego.

LA Dodgers are 13-6 SU in their last 19 games on the road.

LA Dodgers are 5-1 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against San Diego.

San Diego are 8-4 SU in their last 12 games.

The total has gone OVER in 4 of San Diego's last 6 games against LA Dodgers.

 

Prediction

The Dodgers continue to stay hot scoring 5 runs per game in the last 10 and have dominated the Padres this season. For this game Dustin May will take the mound who had a good start this season but was pounded by the Padres in his last start. Mike Clevinger will start for the Padres who has been up and down this season and got rocked by the Dodgers in his last meeting. The Padres still don't convince me and looks like they'll need more time to be consistent and honestly I don't think they'll pound Dustin May again so go with the Dodgers to take the first of the series.

PICK: Dodgers -1.5 (+100)
