San Diego Padres

Padres (38-31) VS Dodgers (41-29)

Jun 16 2025 | 10:10 PM ET | Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles

Los Angeles Dodgers
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers (-155): Grade B

The Dodgers roll into this divisional clash riding a good run of form, powered by a deep lineup that continues to excel against right-handed pitching. Their starting rotation has outperformed expectations lately and draws a favorable matchup against a Padres team that’s lost three of its last four and remains shorthanded in key bullpen spots. San Diego’s recent form and late-inning depth issues pose a real concern, especially against a Los Angeles club that’s been dominant in division games and tends to thrive under midseason pressure. Backing the home side on the run line offers reliable value in this spot.

This one checks a lot of boxes if you're laying the run and a half. Los Angeles is locked in at the plate, their starter has been in a groove, and the opponent's bullpen isn’t built to hold leads. Even if things stay tight early, the better team tends to separate late—and that's exactly what the Dodgers have done repeatedly in these situations. It's not without some risk, but getting plus money on the run line here earns it a confident B-grade.

Over/Under Pick - Under 9, (-110): B

The Dodgers bring a 6-4 run into this divisional matchup, leaning on a sharp rotation that’s helped them control tempo and limit damage. The Padres, meanwhile, brin a 4-6 run into this game and are short on offensive firepower, which has become increasingly apparent against top-tier pitching. While the season approaching the halfway point of the season, their focus on playoff jockeying is already clear, and this particular contest shapes up as one where run prevention will drive the narrative.

Everything about this game points toward a low-scoring grind. Both starters have recent success against these lineups, and with each bullpen ranking among the league’s most efficient, there’s little reason to expect an offensive breakout. The under at 9 runs looks like a strong angle here—enough reliable data and matchup history supports it. This one earns a solid B-grade for bettors looking to ride a pitchers’ duel to the window

Spread Pick - San Diego Padres, +1.5 (-160): B

San Diego heads into this rivalry clash on a strong upswing, having shown they can hang with the Dodgers in the past, while Los Angeles had some yo-yoing form recently. The road starter has fared well historically in this park, and the home team’s staff has looked shaky, especially after extended bullpen use over the past two nights. Given how tight these NL West matchups tend to be, grabbing the extra run looks smart, particularly as the playoff race tightens at the midway point.

This line isn’t flashy, but it’s effective. At –160, the Padres with the run and a half offers a strong B-grade for reliability, backed by form, fatigue, and situational urgency. Late-inning escapes by Los Angeles are always a threat, but that’s exactly what makes the hook so valuable here. For those aiming to stay on the smart side of risk, this one checks the boxes.
