Daily Bet - San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers

Written by: Josh Hammer, The Reserve Clause


Spread: San Diego Padres +1.5/Los Angeles Dodgers -1.5
Over/Under: 6

Tonight we have an inner division battle between the Padres and the Dodgers. The Padres will send Mat Latos (6-12, 3.74 ERA) while the Dodgers will counter with Clayton Kershaw (16-5, 2.51 ERA. Instantly I am drawn to the over/under for this game. Although Kershaw is lights out and is trying to make his case to win the NL Cy Young, I still believe he will give up at least 2 runs. Orlando Hudson has been on an absolute tear this month and the Padres like seeing the production they paid for. In the other dugout, Latos has been pitching better than his record indicates but I still see the Dodgers putting up at least 4 to 5 runs. Therefore, I am absolutely loving the over in this matchup.

MY PICK: OVER of 6
