LA Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction
This game is going to be a pitchers’ duel. Cease in his last start was dominant and he’s going to be dominant again here. Flaherty sits with an ERA of 3.10 and he’s going to have another big game here. The Dodgers, especially, are going to really struggle to get the offense going here, and this game is going to be lower-scoring. Back the under to cash. This is one of the strongest plays on the board for Wednesday.
