Dodgers vs Padres Prediction
The Padres remain the hottest thing smoking, and they should like their chances with King on the mound. The even money is attractive given their form over the last month. However, you can argue the cheap price with the Dodgers at home and Yamamoto on the bump is an even sweeter click. You rarely get these spots with the Dodgers. Yamamoto has allowed 29 hits and 12 runs in his last 53.1 innings. Should be a fun one, but give me the Dodgers and the soft price based on the value.
