Dodgers vs Padres Prediction
The Padres and the plus money is worth a look because they’re a talented group that has a chance every night. The problem is, Cease has been rough in 36.2 road innings, posting a 5.65 ERA and .246 allowed batting average. Ohtani hasn’t pitched in a couple of years, and he’s only expected to pitch an inning or two, but just him taking the mound is going to bring energy to the team and the Dodgers fans. This price is fairly cheap for the Dodgers at home, as you’re often laying closer to -200. I’ll side with the Dodgers on Monday night.
