This game is going to be a lot closer than what the fans would expect. The Dodgers are sending out a reliever turned starter and the Padres are just playing pathetic on the year and lucky to be as close to the Dodgers as they are on the season. The Padres can't overcome the big starting pitching edge of Dodgers. Final Score Prediction, LA Dodgers win and cover the run line 4-2.
