San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction

The Dodgers didn’t list a starting pitcher at the time I published this article, but I’m still rolling with the home team. The Padres have lost eight of their last 12 games and their offense has been stuck in a hole. The Dodgers are rolling offensively and have the horses to make up for a possible off night for whoever takes the hill. Vasquez has been solid this season, he has had issues with his control at times and a 1.40 WHIP isn’t great. Give me the Dodgers.
