LA Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction

The San Diego Padres and the plus money is intriguing because they’ve been incredible in the second half and are still fighting for playoff positioning. Joe Musgrove has also been sharper than Walker Buehler this season. With all that said, the Dodgers are at home, they’re closing in on the NL West and you rarely get them at home with prices this cheap very often. I’ve been on the Padres a ton over the last couple of months. I lean Dodgers here.
