Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The Dodgers are going to be favored because they’re the Dodgers, and Sheehan has shown flashes with his 4.54 ERA and 1.25 WHIP through 41.2 innings. Canning has been a mess through 11 innings with a 10.64 ERA and 2.18 WHIP. However, like I said in yesterday’s write-up, the Padres are too good of a team to turn down in the underdog role, especially at home. Putting the pitching matchup aside, the Padres as a home dog hold value regardless of opponent. Like yesterday, give me the Padres.
