This is a battle of No. 5 type starters and aside from Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen also features weak bullpens.
Padres starter Colin Rea has an ERA of 5.06 and doesn't go far into games. He's only gone past the fifth inning once in four starts.
Dodgers starter Ross Stripling is still living on his debut in which he didn't allow a hit, but was pulled after 7 1/3 innings against San Francisco. That was back on April 8. Since then, Stripling has a 4.20 ERA. Opposing hitters are bating .306 against Stripling during his last three starts.
The right-handed Stripling is going to have to deal, too, with a hot Matt Kemp, who is hitting .385 in his last six games.
The over has cashed in 67 percent of the Padres' last 59 games against a right-handed starter.
