Pick
I’m backing the Dodgers here. The Padres just can’t seem to win with Blake Snell on the mound and I don’t see that changing here against a Dodger team that keeps on finding ways to win baseball games. Dustin May’s been solid for the Dodgers and side-by-side I just like Los Angeles more in this matchup. Give me the Dodgers.
