Padres vs Dodgers prediction
The Dodgers are going to be favored more times than not, and you’re going to pay inflated prices, especially with them at home. The problem is the Padres are a good enough team to consider in the underdog role and Gavin Stone hasn’t been great this season through 8 innings where he’s walked 4 and allowed 7 earned runs. Current Padres are hitting .333 with 2 homers against Stone. I’ll grab the more favorable price with the Padres on the road.
