San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
The Los Angeles Dodgers drew first blood on Saturday, coming from behind to beat the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of their National League Division Series. In his first postseason game, Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani delivered a three-run homer in the second inning that tied the game at 3-3 and changed the complexion of the game. Tommy Edman then came through with two key hustle plays, scoring on a wild pitch in 4th and then driving a run in the 5th inning to give his team a 7-5 lead. On the other hand, rookie hurler Yoshinobu Yamamoto struggled in his postseason debut, throwing five earned runs in 3.0 innings. The Padres might still be punching the air after they could not sustain an early 3-0 lead. San Diego designated hitter Luiz Arraez went 1-for-5 and Jake Cronenworth finished the game without a hit in three at-bats. Dylan Cease, who posted a 3.47 ERA in the regular season, surrendered 5 earned runs in his second career postseason start.

Our San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
Unsurprisingly, Ohtani is listed at 1.5 Over/Under on DraftKings following his memorable postseason debut. The Padres will be fielding Yu Darvish as their Game 2 starter. Ohtani only hit once in five at-bats against Darvish so far. However, Darvish has allowed an average of 1.2 home runs per game over his last five starts, making him far from unsafe for an Ohtani blast. I am rolling my dice with Ohtani here. He’s been terrific at the plate for the Dodgers this season, especially during his run to get into the 50-50 ballclub. Moreover, Ohtani has been hitting well against the Padres all season long, averaging .326 and slugging .522 in 46 at-bats. Our betting prediction for Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres: Shohei Ohtani Over 1.5 hits, +175, at DraftKings.
