This is a 10* TOTAL BLOWOUT on the UNDER Padres/Dodgers.

Both teams have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I'm expecting those trends to end this evening.

I had a play on the UNDER in the Dodgers' 12-1 win yesterday, and while that pick, unfortunately, came up short, I love the way that Sunday's finale finally does set up as more of a "duel."

Note that LA has seen the total go UNDER the number in five of its last six after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row, while San Diego has seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a 10-runs or greater loss to an opponent.

We have a couple of consistent starters going head-to-head here. Mike Clevinger is 5-5 with a 3.59 ERA for the Friars, who enters with a 4-2 record on the road.

Caleb Ferguson counters for the Dodgers and he's 1-0 with a 1.85 ERA and 0.90 WHIP. While the sample size is small, there's no reason not to belive that he can't carry his very recent form over to this contest.

The overall situation, combined with the above ATS O/U trends/stats make the UNDER the correct call in this one.

Good luck, NP
