Padres vs. Dodgers Prediction

I’m on the Dodgers in this one. I just think that the Dodgers get their revenge here and what I’ve noticed, more often than not is that there can be a bit of a hangover with teams the day after they punch their ticket to the postseason and I think the Padres could have that here. They can’t necessarily afford it, as they’re fighting for the division still, but I think the Dodgers bounce back and get their revenge here. Give me the Dodgers.
