Darvish played great for the Padres in his last outing, he only gave up one run to the Dodgers in 7 innings of work, and he should do fine on the road. The Padres seem like the more complete team. The Dodgers may be without Freeman and Yamamoto hasn’t fared well against San Diego as he has given up multiple runs this season to them and in his last playoff start, he just got lit up last week in game 1 for 5 earned runs, 1 homerun and walked 2 batters in 3 innings of work. If Flaherty is scheduled to come in after Yamamoto, then the Padres are in good shape because they have hit both of them hard. The only edge the Dodgers have is being at home but that hasn’t factored into this rivalry series because the Padres have owned the regular series and they have already won a game in LA in this playoff series. The Padres are 10-2 straight up on the road after a loss by 8 runs or more.

Best bet: take the San Diego Padres on the moneyline(ML).
