San Diego is 4-1 in their last 5 division games and 2-6 in their last 8 games following a win while the under is 4-1-1 in their last 6 games overall.
Pick
I’m backing the over here. We saw 27 runs and 11 home runs in Saturday’s matchup as the elevation in Mexico City really played a part in the run production. Normally, I’m not a huge believer of backing high totals in altitude like the Colorado Rockies, but this is even higher elevation with hitter-friendly dimensions all across the ballpark. Looking for a high-scoring game here so give me the over here.
