Before Betting

The San Diego Padres face off against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of this three-game series. For both teams, this is the biggest series of the year.

The Padres are 91-66, 9-1 in their last ten games, and have won five in a row, securing the top seed in the National League Wild Card standings.

San Diego won Game 1 of this series 4-2, with Jake Cronenworth driving in three runs. The Padres led for most of the game.

The Dodgers threatened in the ninth inning, but the Padres managed to turn a rare triple play to finish off LA.

The Dodgers’ top lineup could only manage a few hits, with Will Smith, Teoscar Hernández, and Enrique Hernández each having two-hit games.

Los Angeles is looking to bounce back, as their lead in the division has tightened. The Dodgers are 93-64 and 6-4 in their last ten games.

Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Freddie Freeman will need to perform well in Game 2; otherwise, their division lead could shrink to just one game.

The starting pitcher for the Padres is Dylan Cease, who is 14-11 with a 3.42 ERA. Cease has won his last two starts, during which he did not allow a single run. He faced the Dodgers once this season, giving up one run in 5.2 innings of work.

The starting pitcher for the Dodgers is Jack Flaherty, who is 13-7 with a 3.10 ERA. Flaherty is 3-1 in September, with a mix of quality starts and decent outings, making it difficult to predict what he will deliver.

Padres vs Dodgers Prediction

The Padres secured a team effort win in Game 1. In the second half of the season, they have been the best team in baseball, and the Pads are likely to find a way to win another close one. Additionally, Cease has been the more reliable pitcher compared to Flaherty lately.
