San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers 5/14/19 MLB Odds, Preview, and Prediction

The San Diego Padres take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in Tuesday MLB action at the Dodger Stadium.

Chris Paddack gets the call to start for the San Diego Padres. The 23-year old right hander from Austin, Texas has started a total of seven games this season and has built a record of 3-1 with an ERA of 1.55 and a  WHIP of 0.69. The Padres are 6-1 in Paddack’s seven starts.

Paddack has pitched a total of 40.2 innings this season and has allowed a total of 8 runs, with only 7 earned on 18 hits with two home runs, 10 walks and 46 strikeouts. In his last outing, Paddack pitched 7.2 scoreless innings while allowing just four hits with 11 strikeouts.

Eric Hosmer leads San Diego with a total of 24 RBIs and a batting average of .269. On the other hand, Franmil Reyes leads the Padres with a total of 11 home runs while also recording 22 RBIs and batting at .266. As a team the Padres are batting.232 and have scored a total of 162 runs.

The Dodgers will send ace Clayton Kershaw to open on top of the mound on Tuesday. The 31-year old left hander has started a total of 5 games this season and has put up a record of 2-0 with an ERA of 3.31, WHIP of 0.98 and a BAA of .218. The Dodgers are 5-0 in Kershaw’s five starts.

The Dallas, Texas native has pitched a total of 32.2 innings this season and has allowed a total of 12 earned runs on 26 hits with five home runs while walking 6 batters and fanning 31 others. In his last outing, Kershaw allowed four earned runs on nine hits in 6.2 innings of pitch work.

Who Wins?

The Padres are 5-5 SU in their last 10 games played. San Diego is 2-2 SU in their last four games played on the road. The Dodgers are 7-3 SU in their last 10 games played. Los Angeles is 5-2 SU in their last seven games played at home. Head to head, the Dodgers are 12-2 SU in their last 14 home games against the Padres.

Paddack has been pitching very well this season although he has not pitched against the Dodgers in his career. He’s given up just two runs in his last 20.2 innings pitched and carries a 1.55 ERA  with 46 fan outs. He enters this game as a slight betting underdog against Kershaw.

But Kershaw has always been solid for the Dodgers. Not only is he the Dodgers’ ace, but he’s also won 11 out of his last 13 starts at home. The Dodgers have also been the hottest team in the Majors with the most wins this season and the best record in the National League. I don’t like to bet against Kershaw who’s proven me wrong many times before and he’s always solid at home. Give me the Dodgers here.

Other Bets To Make

San Diego is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games played and the Padres are 2-2 ATS in their last four games played on the road. Los Angeles is 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games played.
