So far this season, the San Diego Padres have shown average gameplay. With nine wins, they are at the third spot in the NL West. Right before this game, they won the last two games by at least three runs. As per an analytical report by Scott Reichel, Padres will be going with Garrett Richards as the starter who has a 0-1 record along with a 4.60 ERA. Meanwhile, shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. has a .333 BA this season with eight home runs and 18 RBIs.
As per another report by Josh Inglis, pitcher Dustin May of Dodgers allowed just six hits in his last 9 1-3 innings of work and is establishing himself as one of the best young arms in the game. Moreover, the Dodgers are cranking out long balls of late, averaging 2.33 per game. Sadly, the team seems to be struggling at home this season after losing three of its first seven games at Dodger Stadium.
Who will win?
Dodgers might be the fan favorites but Padres have a great chance of striking gold as they enter the contest with a great form. Nevertheless, with the Dodgers dominating the matchup with 40 wins in the last 57 games, the odds seem to be in their favor.
