LA Dodgers at San Diego
Wednesday, August 3rd, 10:05 ET
(matchup)
The Los Angeles Dodgers have now beaten their NL West rivals San Diego five straight times over the last month. Incredibly, three of those wins have been of the 1-0 variety. Obviously, this matchup has been a haven for under bettors with 33 of the last 47 matchups staying Under the total, including 17 of 23 here at Petco Park.
The Padres are scoring just 2.9 runs per game at home this season, so that’s another lean for Under bettors. For the record, the MLB oddsmakers have opened the over/under line at 6.5 runs. The total for every Dodgers/Padres games this season has been at 7 runs or less with only two of the 11 going Over.
In addition to betting the Under, playing San Diego on the money line might also be a tempting MLB pick tonight. We say that because the Padres are a perfect 8-0 the last three seasons directly following a shutout loss to a division opponent.
The money line for this contest currently has San Diego as a -120 favorite. Be sure to

The pitching matchup, another key component in MLB handicapping, certainly seems to favor the home team tonight. San Diego’s Tim Stauffer has a 2.88 ERA in 11 home starts this season and 3.10 in 22 overall starts. That said, the Padres are just .500 (11-11) when Stauffer starts, up 2.2 units. The Dodgers’ Ted Lilly has not been good of late with a 6.48 ERA last three starts and 5.02 overall in 22 outings.
