Stephen Nover's MLB Sunday Big Ticket
(MLB) San Diego vs. LA Dodgers, 08/07/2022 7:08 PM, Score: 0 - 4
Money Line: -131.00 LA Dodgers (Home)
Result: Win
Even adding Juan Soto and Josh Bell, the Padres still aren't as good as the Dodgers. LA has beaten San Diego 16 of the past 18 times. This includes the first two games of this series by a 16-4 margin. I don't see things being any different in this series finale pitting Yu Darvish against lefty Tyler Anderson. 

The Dodgers are a blazing 14-3 since All-Star break. They have the best record in baseball at 74-33. 

Darvish hasn't been nearly as effective on the road as he has at Petco Park with a 4.50 away ERA compared to a 2.17 ERA at home. The Padres are 5-5 in his road starts. 

Anderson has been fantastic this season going 12-1 with a 2.89 ERA and 1.03 WHIP. The Padres are a below average hitting team against lefties. They rank 20th in OPS versus southpaws and 23rd in slugging percentage.
