The over is 7-0-1 in Dodgers last 8 overall. The over is 7-1 in Padres last 8 overall. The Dodgers are 36-15 in the last 51 meetings.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are going to be favored for obvious reasons as they’re the better team, they’ve owned the Padres over the years and Julio Urias has been money all year. However, the San Diego Padres are finally playing consistent ball, and they need to keep winning to improve their payoff odds. Also, the Padres are coming off a momentum win last night and this is a big series against their rival to get the monkey off their back. The Dodgers have been hit or miss these last 2 weeks. Like last night, give me the Padres and the plus money at home.
