Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres Prediction

The Dodgers had one of the best offseasons of all time. Los Angeles inked a contract with the best player in baseball, Shohei Ohtani. Ohtani signed a 10-year, 700 million-dollar contract.

Additionally, the Dodgers signed pitchers Tyler Glasnow and Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

It is important to note that this roster already has Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, and Max Muncy.

Freddie Freeman led the squad last season, batting a team-best .331 while blasting 29 home runs.

Mookie Betts led the squad with 39 home runs and 107 runs batted in.

Outfielder James Outman enjoyed a strong season hitting .248 driving in 70 runs.

The Dodgers rotation was banged up last season, and will hope to avoid the injury bug this year.

The Padres come into this season poised for a bounce back after missing the playoffs last year.

San Diego was one of the most disappointing teams in baseball a year ago.

From a talent standpoint, this is one of the best teams in baseball.

The most notable off-season move for the Padres was the addition of starting pitcher Dylan Cease.

Xander Bogaerts led the Padres last year in batting average (.285).

Super Star Fernando Tatis Jr. blasted 25 home runs in addition to 78 runs batted in.

Manny Machado is the best power source on the roster, having hit 30 home runs a year ago while driving in 91 runs.

Yu Darvish and Joe Musgrove will headline this Padres rotation.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres Pick

We will start this season with a Dodgers -1 bet because why not?

Darvish has good numbers vs this Dodgers lineup but is known for slow starts.

This Dodgers lineup has so much firepower that they will work Darvish and force him to have a short outing.

Glasnow is one of the best in baseball when healthy, and he will limit this Padres lineup today.
