Los Angeles Dodgers
On Sunday, the Los Angeles Dodgers will wrap up a series against the San Diego Padres. The team will send out right-hander Kenta Maeda to handle the starting pitcher duties. Maeda’s had a pretty decent start to his year. He’s 3-2 with a 4.41 ERA. In 32.2 innings, he’s given up 16 earned runs on 34 hits.
The Dodgers are a solid batting team. They average 5.26 runs per game and have gotten a lot of help from Cody Bellinger’s amazing start. He’s batting .415 with 14 homers and 38 RBIs. Unfortunately, it looks as though he could miss Sunday’s game after separating his shoulder on Friday. He sat out Saturday, as Alex Verdugo got the start in his place.

Outside of Bellinger, third baseman Justin Turner has played some solid baseball this year. He’s batting .279 with 10 RBIs on 31 hits.
San Diego Padres
Sunday, San Diego will give the start to left-hander Nick Margevicius. This season, he’s 2-3 with a 3.23 ERA. Despite his current record, Margevicius has pitched quite well overall. In 30.2 innings of work, he’s allowed just 11 earned runs on 24 hits. He also has 26 strikeouts over his six starts.
At the plate, the Padres certainly aren’t one of the most explosive teams in the MLB. San Diego averages just 3.70 runs per game, about 1.5 less than Los Angeles. None of the Padres are having great success at the plate, and that includes new addition Manny Machado.

The superstar is batting just .235, although he does have six homers and 16 RBIs. He even homer in his first career at-bat against Clayton Kershaw on Friday. Frankly, he’s just a bit prone to strikeouts. He has 32 this season on 119 at-bats.

Free Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres MLB Prediction:
With Maeda on the mound for the Dodgers, I think the advantage in this matchup goes to Los Angeles. Even at home, I think the Padres will struggle to score runs off the right-hander. I like the Dodgers to win another one-run game in this series.
4* Free MLB Betting Pick: Over 8
Both teams have been up-and-down when it comes to scoring this season, especially in the last 10 games. But with a total sitting at 8, and two starting pitchers that are good but not great, there should be some solid run-scoring in this game. I’ll take the Over here.
