The Los Angeles Dodgers are on a rare 3-game losing streak but that should change tonight when they play the second of their 3-game set with the San Diego Padres at Chavez Ravine. The Padres won last night’s game, 7-1, which is rare considering they are just 3-8 in the last 11 meetings. Tonight could be a long night for the Padres expected starter, lefty Sean Manaea. He is 7-7 with a 4.90 ERA, a 1.33 WHIP, and is a disastrous 0-2 this year against LA with an ERA of 15.12, and that is not a typo. The Dodgers are expected to counter with southpaw Julio Urías and he has been on fire. Urías is 14-7 with a 2.32 ERA and a WHIP of only 0.95. He is 11-1 in his last 13 starts and 4-1 in his career against San Diego with a 2.53 ERA. The best team in baseball owns the Padres and that is a fact. They are 36-15 in their last 51 meetings overall and 43-16 in the last 59 against them at home.
TONIGHT’S PICK: LOS ANGELES DODGERS
