This is an 8* on LA DODGERS

The Padres switched starters on the Dodgers yesterday and it paid off as Luis Perdomo and five relievers held LA to just four hits in a 2-1 victory. It was one of the Dodgers’ weaker efforts at the plate so far this season. They went 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position and failed to homer for the first time in 11 games. But it’s important to know they are averaging 5.0 runs/game, making them one of baseball’s highest scoring teams. Tonight they get to face Garrett Richards, who we were set to play against yesterday (before the pitching change) as he’s allowed four runs in consecutive starts. Los Angeles has won all three previous starts of Ross Stripling, who will go again tonight. The most recent was against Richards and the Padres last week. The Dodgers have a much better bullpen than the Padres. They are also 4-1 off a loss this season. Play on LOS ANGELES
