San Diego Padres vs LA Dodgers Prediction
A massive series between the Dodgers and Padres, as the outcome could determine who wins in the NL West. The Dodgers are going to get the benefit of the doubt because they’re the Dodgers and at home. However, the value is on the Padres and the plus money. The Padres have been the best team in the second half of the season, and they’ve lost just 16 games since July 20. Michael King also has far and away more experience than rookie Landon Knack, which could play a role as well. These games should have a playoff-like atmosphere. Give me the Padres.
