Padres vs Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are back to their winning ways where the offense is on a tear and theyre going to be obvious favorites with Yamamoto on the bump. However, the value is with the Padres and the plus money, a team that’s looked like a legit contender up to this point. King has also held his own with a 2.63 ERA and 1.09 WHIP, and he has a 2.35 ERA and .171 allowed batting average in 23 home innings. The Padres are too good of a team to turn down as a home dog regardless of opponent. Give me the home dog.
