Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres Preview & Picks

San Diego are tipped to win the third game of the series and take the lead.

The Padres have the pitching advantage in this one, and their in-form offense can beat up on Dodgers starter Walker Buehler.

  • San Diego Padres are 14-5 in their last 19 games
  • San Diego pitcher Michael King has a 2.95 ERA this season
  • LA Dodgers starter Walker Buehler is 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA
  • The Over has cashed in each of San Diego's last 3 games

Head To Head

  • San Diego Padres won the regular season series 8-5
  • This MLB Playoffs series is tied at 1-1
  • San Diego Padres won 10-2 when the two teams last met on October 6

Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles head out on the road for the first time in this series looking to bounce back from a Game 2 defeat that left the series tied at 1-1.

The Dodgers enjoyed a winning start to the series as they won 7-5, but they failed to back it up as they were beaten 10-2 on Sunday night.

They booked their place in the postseason by putting together a league-best 98-64 record to finish top of the National League West.

Los Angeles’ dominant regular season saw them finish five games clear of postseason opponents San Diego, although they did go 5-8 against the Padres.

The Dodgers entered this series on a good run of form though, winning nine of their final 11 games on the schedule.

San Diego Padres Form

San Diego return home looking to back up a commanding road win that tied up the series with Los Angeles at one win apiece.

The Padres dropped the series opener against the Dodgers, 7-5, but responded in emphatic fashion with a 10-2 victory in Game 2.

That continued their solid form against LA this season which saw them win eight of the 13 regular-season showdowns between the two teams.

San Diego finished behind the Dodgers in the National League West though, with their 93-69 record only being good enough for second place.

As a result the Padres were paired with Atlanta in the Wild Card round, and they made home advantage count with 4-0 and 5-4 wins.

Verdict

Walker Buehler has given up a bunch of runs in a bunch of losses so far.

That spells trouble for Los Angeles here, because San Diego are coming off a 10-run performance and are firing on offense.
