MLB Prediction: Who Will Win Dodgers vs. Padres?
While the Dodgers are the heavy betting favourite, the pitching matchup suggests the Padres will be able to keep this game close. This is especially true given that Buehler has significantly improved in June. In four starts this month, Buehler has four earned runs over 21.0 innings. Sasaki, on the other hand, has made three June starts, in which he has allowed 10 earned runs over 17.0 innings.
Both the Dodgers and the Padres have been in top form recently, but with San Diego having played Los Angeles tight this season, backing the Padres +1.5 will be our best bet. Look for the Padres to pull off a 4-3 win.
