The San Diego Padres will play the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of their series at Dodger Stadium on Friday night.
The San Diego Padres are 61-47 this season and have won five of their last six games. San Diego is coming off of a series win against Colorado, where they won four out of the five games played in the series. The San Diego pitching staff has a 3.74 ERA, a 1.20 WHIP, and a .231 opponent batting average this season. The Padres offense has scored 481 runs with a .243 batting average and a .319 on base percentage. Manny Machado is batting .293 with 19 home runs and 60 RBI’s for the Padres this season. The projected starter for San Diego is Sean Manaea, who is 6-5 with a 4.25 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP over 110 innings pitched this season.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are 72-33 this season and have won five games in a row. Los Angeles is coming off of a series win against San Francisco, where they won all four games played. The Los Angeles pitching staff has a 2.94 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and a .217 opponent batting average. The Dodgers offense has scored 551 runs with a .258 batting average and a .335 on base percentage this year. Mookie Betts is batting .266 with 25 home runs and 59 RBI’s for the Dodgers this season. The projected starter for Los Angeles is Tony Gonsolin, who is 12-1 with a 2.41 ERA and a 0.90 WHIP over 104.2 innings pitched this season.
San Diego is 5-1 in their last 6 games and 12-2 in their last 14 Friday games. The over is 8-3-1 in San Diego’s last 12 Friday games. Los Angeles is 54-17 in their last 71 home games and 37-16 in their last 53 Friday games. The under is 21-4-1 in Los Angeles’ last 26 Friday games. San Diego is 15-40 in these two teams last 55 head to head meetings in Los Angeles.
This should be a very entertaining series to watch as we get to see how the Padres upgraded lineup will fare against the might Dodgers. San Diego is starting Sean Manaea, who has allowed nine earned runs over his last 15.1 innings. For the Dodgers, Tony Gonsolin has had an incredible season, but has allowed 12 runs in his last 16 innings of work. I really like the Padres offense after adding Soto and Bell and expect them to score a lot of runs over the next few months. I like the over here.
