Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction


The Dodgers are favored because they’re the Dodgers, but Sheehan hasn’t been good this season with a 5.32 ERA and 1.30 WHIP, and he’s allowed 18 hits and 13 runs in his last 16 innings. The Dodgers are 0-4 this month with Sheehan on the mound. King is an all-star-caliber pitcher when he’s right, and through 53.1 innings at home, he has a 2.87 ERA and a .217 allowed batting average. The Padres should also have some sort of pride after getting smacked last night. I’ll take a stab with the home team and the plus money.
