The Los Angeles Dodgers manhandled the San Diego Padres last night in a 10-4 shellacking and will look to continue their dominance over the Padres when they play the second game of a 3-game set tonight at Petco Park. Two lefties will face each other, with Rich Hill going for the Dodgers and Dillon Overton for the Padres. Hill is having a mediocre year, with a record of 4-4, a 4.60 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. San Diego picked up Overton from the Seattle Mariners and he will be making his first start as a Padre. Overton is 0-0, with an ERA of 6.38. He made 1 start and 8 relief appearances for Seattle this year, where he yielded 15 runs over 18-1/3 innings of work, which is not good. Los Angeles has won 6 out of the 7 meetings this year against the Friars, and they are 4-0 in their last 4 trips to Petco Park. The Dodgers can hit southpaws, going 5-1 in their last 6 against them. This could be a long night or short night for Overton.
Tonight’s Pick:
