San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
It would be nice to know who the Padres are throwing on the mound, but they’re 14-3 since July 26 and have to be thinking about winning the NL West at this point. Kershaw has owned the Padres throughout his career, and he’s allowed 12 hits and one run in his last 12 innings. However, the Dodgers have been losing games lately and current Padres are hitting .277 with a .314 on base percentage against Kershaw in 148 at bats. I’ll ride the hot hand and side with the Padres on the road.
