Padres vs Dodgers is Our Key MLB Betting Match of The Day

Written by on April 24, 2015

It’s still very early in the season, but the NL West is quickly turning into one of the most competitive divisions in baseball. The biggest surprise right now is that the World Champion San Francisco Giants are occupying the cellar of the division. At the top, the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers are duking it out for top spot. Those two will start a 3-game MLB betting series starting on Friday in San Diego.

San Diego vs Los Angeles: MLB Betting Game Preview

Date: Friday, April 24, 2015 Time: 10:10PM Venue: PETCO Park Opening Line: Los Angeles -111 The Dodgers (9-5) came flying out of the gate to start the season, and even managed to put together an impressive 7-game winning streak. Their hot start was built upon an 8-1 record at home, but they have been unable to match their home performances on the road. They are in danger of being swept in their 3-game series on the road at San Francisco, and will have to find a way to become road warriors if they don’t want their solid opening to be pretty much meaningless. The Dodgers will send Zack Greinke (2-0, 1.83 ERA) to the mound on Friday, and that could well be very good news. Grienke has been solid in all 3 of his starts this season, and has only given up 4 runs over the 20.1 innings that he has pitched to date. padres-mlb-betting The San Diego Padres (10-6) got off to a slow start, going 1-3 in their first 4 games of the season. Since then, though, they have been solid, losing only 3 of their next 12 games. Their +23 run differential is tied for best in the National League, and they have certainly been flashing some power of late, cranking out 25 runs in their last 3 starts. The Padres actually opened the season on the road to the Dodgers, where they lost 2 of 3. Like the Dodgers, the Padres have been better at home than on the road, and will be looking to get a little revenge for that opening series loss. Andrew Cashner (1-2, 2.65 ERA) will get the ball for the Padres on Friday. Cashner has been steadily improving with each start, and was able to get his first win of the season against the Cubs last week.

What Should You Bet On?

This looks like a great pitching match-up, and if Cashner can continue to improve with each start, the Padres could be sitting atop the NL West by the time the final out comes in this game.
