This is an 8* on the DODGERS

This is a shockingly low price on the Dodgers at home against a team like the Padres. Yes, San Diego did win here on Friday and actually took three of four in their previous visit to Chavez Ravine. But the Dodgers remain the class of the National League right now with a +171 run differential and 73-40 record. An easy 4-1 win for the home team last night only confirmed what we already knew about these teams - the Dodgers are simply much better. They are 42-15 at home this year. We suppose some are willing to give San Diego a fighting chance here due to Chris Paddack being on the mound. But while his numbers are impressive, Paddack still has a 5-5 team start record on the road and he gave up six runs in a loss here in LA back in May. Maeda will go for the Dodgers and he has a 2.57 ERA and 0.86 WHIP at home. The Dodgers are 81-40 their last 121 days games, which includes a 20-8 record this season. Play on LOS ANGELES
