Padres vs Dodgers Betting Pick
This game will be played at Dodger Stadium at 9:10 PM ET on Saturday, August 6, 2022.
Why Bet The Dodgers:
✅ Mike Clevinger (3-3; 3.13 ERA; 1.08 WHIP) will get the nod for the Padres, and the current Dodgers lineup is 9-for-21 against him. Mookie Bets is 4-for-7 with four RBIs, while Trea Turner is 2-for-3. The Dodgers are hitting the righties very well in 2022, posting a .259/.337/.446 slash line and 122 OPS+.Â
✅ Andrew Heaney (1-0; 0.77 ERA; 0.99 WHIP) will get the starting call for the Dodgers. He’s still building up his stamina following a series of injuries, and the 31-year-old lefty has thrown just eight innings over his last two starts, allowing one run on five hits and five walks while punching out 11. The Dodgers can rely on their bullpen, which holds a sharp 2.27 ERA, 2.78 FIP, and .245 BABIP in the last ten days and 35.2 innings of work.
