Los Angeles Dodgers Form

Los Angeles come into this series on the back of a win, but having cooled off with three defeats in their last five games.

The Dodgers went into the All-Star break on the back of a couple of defeats in Detroit, but they responded well when the season resumed.

They swept Boston in a three-game series at home, winning 4-, 7-6 and 9-6, and then took their streak to five games with 3-2 and 5-2 victories over San Francisco.

Los Angeles’ streak was ended by an 8-3 defeat in the third meeting with the Giants, only for them to respond with a 6-4 success in the series finale.

The Dodgers failed to back that up though, as they lost 5-0 and 7-6 in Houston before taking the final meeting 6-2.

San Diego Padres Form

San Diego enter this series on the back of a loss, but in good form overall having won seven of their last eight games.

The Padres went into the All-Star break on the back of a 6-3 home defeat to Atlanta, and when they returned to action they were beaten 7-0 in Cleveland.

They issued a fantastic response to those losses though, starting with 7-0 and 2-1 victories over the Guardians.

San Diego then travelled to Washington to sweep the Nationals in a three-game series, winning 4-0, 12-3 and 3-0.

The Padres continued their road trip with another three games in Baltimore and beat the Orioles 6-4 and 9-4 before dropping the final meeting, 8-6.

Verdict

San Diego are in better form, but Los Angeles appear to have the pitching advantage here so we lean towards them.
