Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres Prediction: A must-win encounter for the two teams

Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres will square it off in the quarterfinal of the MLB playoffs. The series is tied 2-2, and the two teams will have high expectations for this encounter. Below, we will preview this series and make predictions. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers will come all out to win in this game five and hope things go their way. In the opener of this series, the home team pulled off a 7-5 win. However, the Los Angeles Dodgers struggled in games two and three, scoring seven runs and conceding 16, losing each game. In game four, which saw them tie the series 2-2, the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled off eight runs while holding their opponents to zero. In this series, the Los Angeles Dodgers have scored 22 runs and come in as favorites in this game. 

The San Diego Padres will have their hopes high in game five after failing to score in game four. In the meantime, it is all out of hope here, as the road team comes in as an underdog. However, the San Diego Padres will believe they have what it takes to win here after already winning twice in this fixture, one also coming on the road as underdogs. In this series, the San Diego Padres have scored 21 runs. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers look like the real deal for me in this game five, and I will back them with confidence. The San Diego Padres have been a good competitor, but I do not see them holding the Dodgers on the road in game five. Yet, this game should have everything a bettor needs, as it is expected to involve a lot of offensive runs from the two teams.
