San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction: Battle of two top sides

This week's edition of Monday's baseball features a clash between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers, both of which compete in the National League West division. 

Los Angeles defeated the Padres 2-1 in the head-to-head matchup on Sunday, ending San Diego's four-game winning streak in this series. Despite the fact that their recent outcomes have been all over the place, the Padres will still be hoping for better luck this time. The San Diego Padres have a record of 6-2 in their last 8 games played at home and a record of 4-1 in their last 5 games played on Monday. Additionally, the under is 4-0 in their last four games played overall.

After suffering a defeat in the first game of the series, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres by a score of 1-2 on Sunday to get back on the winning track. The Los Angeles Dodgers have a record of 87-40 in their previous 127 games overall and 49-22 in their last 71 games played within their division. Additionally, the over is 5-1 in the Dodgers' last six road games played against teams that start a right-handed pitcher. Julio Urias, who has a 4-3 record, a 3.86 earned run average, and 45 strikeouts so far this season, will get the start for the Dodgers in this game.

In this contest, we are going to be betting on the under. Due to the fact that Urias and Musgrove are two of the best starters that their respective rotations have to offer, this match is anticipated to be a legitimate pitcher's duel from the beginning to the end. Because there were only three runs scored in the game on Sunday, despite having a much less favorable pitching matchup than what we have now, we believe that we will have another duel.
