Prop Bets: Los Angeles Dodgers VS San Diego Padres 2025-08-24
Dodgers vs. Padres: A Low-Scoring Laugher (Probably)
The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are set to clash in a game that’s about as exciting as a spreadsheet audit. With Yoshinobu Yamamoto (2.90 ERA) and Nick Pivetta (2.81 ERA) on the mound, this matchup screams “Under 8 runs” if you’ve ever seen a spreadsheet scream. The implied probability for the Under (1.94 odds) is 52.38%, and with both teams ranking 22nd and 24th in runs scored, respectively, it’s a bet that’s practically written in the stars… or at least in the stats.
Key Props to Bet Your Grandma’s Retirement On:
- Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 HRs (+190): The two-time MVP has homered twice against Pivetta this season. Take the Over if you’re feeling lucky (or a 34.48% chance of winning).
- Ohtani First HR (-350): He’s already hit 40 HRs this year. Let’s just cut to the chase and take the “Yes” here.
- Under 8 Team Total Runs (-108): Yamamoto’s 4.5 K/9 and Pivetta’s 5.5 K/9 make this a lock. The Padres rank 22nd in runs scored, and the Dodgers? They’re just here for the vibes.
Why?
- Pivetta walks batters like he’s handing out parking tickets (12.5% walk rate).
- The Padres have the 22nd-ranked offense. Their idea of a “slump” is a 10-game losing streak.
- Yamamoto’s ERA? A tidy 2.90. He’s the anti-entree—low and slow.
Final Verdict: Lay off the runs and lean into the Under. This game’s gonna be drier than a Padres bullpen in August.
Bet responsibly. Or don’t—this is baseball, not rocket science. 🎲⚾
