Padres vs. Dodgers Prediction: Thursday, September 26th

Things are pretty much squared away in the NL West with the Dodgers 3 games up on the San Diego Padres in the divisional race. As long as there remains a chance to win the thing, I imagine San Diego will come out guns blazing. 

I like that narrative tonight and that they’ll go against Walker Buehler, who is having a rough September with a 5.06 ERA. That puts the Padres in the driver’s seat to win this game with Joe Musgrove pitching on the other side. I like San Diego to win this game, and the odds are good at that, so let’s lock the 46-31 road record Padres to grab another one. 

In addition to backing San Diego to win, I have a player prop as well! Buehler has struggled all season against lefty bats allowing a .315 average and .943 OPS overall. His home run splits are even between the handiness, but the extra-base hits really skew toward allowing the lefties to get after him. 

That means wheels up for Jackson Merrill, who is hitting .294 over the past 5 games including a pair of doubles. He is hitting 5th in the lineup so plenty of chances to go over 1.5 hits/runs/RBIs with this killer lineup in front of him!
