MLB Odds: Dodgers-Padres prediction, odds and pick

The Los Angeles Dodgers are the top team in baseball with a record of 94-42. They are coming off of a series win against the San Francisco Giants and taking the series against San Diego Padres. The Padres are 2nd in the NL West by 19 games and are fighting for a Wild Card spot.

Dustin May will start for the Dodgers in Game 1 against the Padres. He took the loss in the last game against San Diego. May is 1-2 on the season with a 3.94 ERA in 16 innings. Gavin Lux and Joey Gallo are day-to-day. The Dodgers lost the first game of the series but came back to score 21 runs in final two games.

Mike Clevinger is going to start for the Padres tonight. The forecast is for rain. Juan Soto is expected to return to the lineup. Drury entered the concussion protocol last Saturday. He should be eligible to play tomorrow night. Joey Mistretta is the other player who will start.

The Padres won the last time they faced May. The Dodgers hit Clevinger well and likely will do it again.
