Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction: Will Padres control their fate?

At Dodger Stadium on Sunday, an MLB game between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers will take place.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have scored four or more runs in five of their previous six games, including 16 runs in their last three games. When scoring four runs or more, the Dodgers have won 15 straight games. James Outman and Mookie Betts have a combined total of 72 hits and 45 RBI, while Freddie Freeman leads the Dodgers with 48 hits and 20 RBI. The pitcher is Tony Gonsolin, who has a record of 0-1 with a 1.93 ERA and 10 strikeouts so far this year. Gonsolin has faced the Padres four times in his career and is 4-0 with a 1.45 ERA and 32 strikeouts. In their last 135 home games and 99 Sunday games, the Dodgers have a 99-36 record.

The San Diego Padres scored 7 runs in their most recent 3 games and 3 runs or fewer in 6 of their most recent 7. When scoring three runs or less, the Padres have dropped their last 10 games. Juan Soto and Manny Machado have a combined total of 73 hits and 38 RBI, while Xander Bogaerts leads the Padres with 39 hits and 15 RBI. The Padres have lost four of their last five away games and five of their last six overall.

We don't trust the San Diego Padres because they just can't beat the Dodgers, and their lack of offense in this series is one reason why. The Los Angeles Dodgers have dominated the San Diego Padres in the past, so you have to like their chances now that starter Tony Gonsolin is on the mound and has a history of dominating the Padres. The Dodgers have our backing to win here.
