Pegged as a lengthy +460 wager in the NL pennant odds, the Padres were steady producers as betting underdogs, going 25-24, and saw each of their two victories during their NL Wild Card series with New York come while sporting positive odds. However, they won just five of their final 17 regular season contests as underdogs. The Padres have also fallen to defeat in four straight NLDS appearances since last reaching the World Series in 1998.

Dodgers vs Padres Prediction

The Padres were able to eke out their series victory over the Mets without wearing out their bullpen. However, this team has a mountain to climb to reverse their lengthening stretch of futility in Los Angeles, where they have averaged just 2.40 runs per game over their past 10 visits.

The Pick: Dodgers (-198)
