Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction: Padres will be closer to victory

The Los Angeles Dodgers have beaten San Francisco four times on the road and will face another division rival, the San Diego Padres. Can the Dodgers extend their winning streak? We have a few bets to place at once.

After an unexpected home loss to Washington, the team had a great start. First, the Dodgers took three of four games from Colorado (13:0, 5:4, 3:5, 7:3). Then they beat the San Francisco Giants (8:2, 9:5, 3:0, 5:3). The Dodgers confirmed their status as the strongest team in the National League West Division, where they lead with a 72-33 balance and an 11.5 win handicap.

The Dodgers' starting pitcher for game one of their series with San Diego is Tony Gonsolin, 12-1, with a 2.41 ERA in 19 starts this season.

The Padres got Juan Soto and Josh Bell from Washington. Both had already made their debut for their new team in a series against Colorado, which the Padres won handily (4:1, 13:5, 3:2, 9:1, 3:7). Do the Dodgers finally have a decent opponent in the division?

Starting on the pitching hill for San Diego in Game 1 of the series at Dodger Stadium will be Sean Manaea, 6-5, with a 4.25 ERA in 19 games in this championship.

In addition to Soto and Bell, the Padres signed Brandon Drury from the Cincinnati Reds. Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin has beaten San Diego before this season, but the Padres were different. Bob Melvin's team has an excellent chance to get revenge on Gonsolin and beat the Dodgers, who are also back after a tough Denver-San Francisco trip.
