Dodgers vs Padres Prediction

The Padres are in a funk and a hard team to trust right now, but this is a chance for them to get back on track. Kolek has been solid with a 3.50 ERA and 1.32 WHIP, and he’s been sharper this month, allowing 13 hits and four earned runs in 15.2 innings. In 36 road innings, Kolek has a 1.75 ERA and a .227 allowed batting average with 27 strikeouts. Sheehan hasn’t pitched since October 2023 after having Tommy John surgery in 2024. Just 11.1 innings in AAA don’t do much for me. We have no idea what to expect from Kolek. Give me the Padres on Wednesday night in this rivalry MLB game.
