Padres vs Dodgers

Hollywood heavyweights expect another script with a familiar ending

San Diego Padres

Padres (39-32) VS Dodgers (44-29)

June 18, 2025 | 10:10 PM ET | Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles

Los Angeles Dodgers
Moneyline Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers (-190): B

Los Angeles enters Wednesday’s matchup riding a four-game win streak and holding a firm grip on the NL West, while San Diego remains short-handed with key arms still on the shelf. The Dodgers benefit from a deeper, healthier lineup and a starter whose pitch profile has consistently stifled opposing power threats. San Diego’s rotation continues to lean heavily on arms that haven’t shown much longevity lately, leaving their bullpen exposed against one of the most patient and productive lineups in the league.

With both teams approaching the halfway point of the season, the Dodgers have clear incentive to press their divisional advantage and take care of business at home. The matchup on the mound and the current state of each roster both lean in L.A.’s favour, and the price reflects modest but reliable value. Backing the home side makes sense given the trends. This prediction gets a B grade.

Over/Under Pick - Over 9.5, (-110): B

Los Angeles returns home Wednesday aiming to keep their good run alive, while San Diego arrives with the inverse of L.A.'s run, at 3-7, on top of dropping their last two games. Both teams average more than 4.8 runs per game and have combined for over two dozen homers in their last six matchups, pointing toward another high-scoring affair. The rotation matchup features solid arms, but with a star pitching put on the 60-day IL and each bullpen already stretched, the edge leans toward hitters making noise early and often.

The Dodgers’ offensive firepower remains potent even with a key bat nursing an injury, and San Diego’s middle order has taken advantage of mistake pitches in recent outings. With both teams nearing the midpoint of the season and divisional positioning starting to matter more, aggressive at-bats and limited bullpen depth could open the door for extended rallies. The total pushing past 10 looks more likely than not. This prediction gets a B grade.

Spread Pick - Los Angeles Dodgers, -1.5 (-115): B

Los Angeles enters Wednesday’s matchup riding a four-game win streak, while San Diego arrives having dropped three of its last four and dealing with roster uncertainty. With their rotation just starting to regain pieces and a key bat still not at full strength, the Padres face an uphill battle against a Dodgers squad that’s firing on all cylinders. L.A. has leaned on reliable production from its core and historically has matched up well in this rivalry, especially when playing at home.

At the season’s halfway mark, divisional urgency begins to take hold, and the Dodgers’ depth and experience provide a clear edge in execution. With the Padres stretched thin and struggling to find late-inning answers, backing Los Angeles to win by multiple runs feels justified. This prediction gets a B grade.
