Padres vs Dodgers Prediction

We hit on the Padres yesterday as underdogs, and I’m going back to the well. The Padres are hot this week, and while Yamamoto is a decorated pitcher, the Padres have had success against him. In 69 at bats current Padres are batting .261 with a .338 on-base percentage and four homers against Yamamoto. Vasquez has been a mess this month, and his numbers aren’t any better at Petco. Still, we’re getting 1.5 times our money with a hot Padres team that has the talent to go toe to toe with the Dodgers. I’ll take it.
