forecast

Padres 4, Dodgers 3

Money line

SAN DIEGO (-105) is 5-2 in their last 7 games at Dodger Stadium.

Musgrove is in great form. In his last two starts, he held opponents scoreless while striking out 17 batters without giving up a base on balls.

The Friars are an excellent away club (45-31) and have a record of 6-2 in their last 8 away games. Entering this series, the Padres ranked 5th and 6th, respectively, in road scoring (5.11 runs per game) and run prevention (3.88).

Buehler doesn't typically delve deeply into games, and this potentially exposes an LA bullpen that's trending in the wrong direction this month, at least in its analytical metrics numbers.

BACKREST PAD (-105).

Running Line/Against the Spread

No interest. HAPPEN.

Over/Under

Eight of San Diego's last nine games went under. In the last seven meetings between San Diego and Los Angeles, the minors are 5-2.

Be careful that the initial pitch is slightly understated by the surface numbers. TAKE UNDER 8.5 (-115).
