San Diego Padres vs. Los Angeles Dodgers MLB Prediction: Padres ML
This is going to be a very good baseball game, featuring the two best teams in the state, and at full health, arguably the two most polarizing teams in the league. San Diego has quietly dropped three straight since their big haul of Soto, Josh Bell and Brandon Drury at the deadline, and they’re due to eek a win out soon. A sweep by the Dodgers would feel commanding, and the Padres should never be overlooked as underdogs with this lineup. Darvish’s current form only strengthens their case here.
Take a swing with San Diego tonite, and take their moneyline.
