We like the San Diego Padres @ Los Angeles Dodgers game to finish "under" the total in Game 5 of the NLDS on Friday for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

After the first three games of this series went "over" the total, Game 4 showed signs of pitching taking over. It landed on the number exactly.

Yu Darvish gets the start for San Diego. He should be able to hold the Dodgers once again just like he did in Game 2.

Over his entire career, Darvish has seen the Dodgers 15 times. He has a 2.27 ERA against them.

With one day off this season, the Padres have seen the total stay "under" in 16 of 25 games.

The Dodgers have yet to announce their pitcher. But, they allowed not a single run in Game 4.

When the Padres haven't scored a run in a game this season, they've responded by averaging just 3.33 runs in their next game this season (30 runs in nine games.)

A low scoring contest should be on our hands in this Game 5 elimination game for both.
