Prediction: Los Angeles Dodgers VS San Diego Padres 2025-06-11

The battle for California supremacy is on. The Los Angeles Dodgers are heading to Petco Park to take on the San Diego Padres, and I've got my eyes on the underdog Dodgers. With a 17-16 record on the road, they're no slouches away from home. And let's be real, the Padres' 20-11 home record is impressive, but it's not like they're invincible.

The model suggests the Padres will win by a hair, with an average score of 4.9 to 4.8. But I'm not buying it. The Dodgers have a strong lineup, and Teoscar Hernandez is projected to have 1.4 total bases, which gives me hope for an upset.

The odds are in favor of the Padres, with a money line probability of over 50%. But I'm a rebel, and I love going against the grain. The Dodgers are priced around 1.71, which is a decent value considering their road record.

My best bet for this game is the Los Angeles Dodgers +1.5. The odds are around 2.1, which is a great value considering the Padres' tendency to play close games at home. And let's not forget, underdogs win about 41% of the time in baseball, so the odds are ever in our favor.

So, if you're feeling bold, take the Dodgers +1.5 and let's ride the underdog wave. It's going to be a close game, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Dodgers pull off the upset. After all, as the great philosopher, Dolly Parton, once said, "If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." And I'm willing to take that risk.
