🔮 Padres vs. Dodgers prediction & best bet

The Padres have dropped three straight to open this series, but the last defeat came by just one run - as did five of their seven losses before this Dodgers series. In fact, this +1.5 bet would have cashed in 13 of their 17 games in June.

The reason we're catching such a solid price here is the name recognition surrounding Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-5, 2.64 ERA), who hasn't exactly been living up to his $325-million price tag lately. He's posted a 4.46 ERA over his last seven starts after ceding five earned runs and two homers in his last outing.

The Padres' offense has been excelling at making contact this year, and rookie Ryan Bergert (1-0, 2.33 ERA) has been great at suppressing it through his first 20 MLB innings. If that holds up tonight, this contest should remain close throughout, and San Diego could even steal the final game of the series.

✅ Best bet: Padres +1.5 (+115 via BetMGM)
