San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Lou Aguila | in MLB Picks
After four games of top-notch baseball, it all comes down to this. It’s Game 5. At Dodger Stadium, LA Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres, for a spot in the National League Championship Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers dodged a bullet by taking an emphatic 8-0 in Game 4 and forcing the series to a deciding game. Mookie Betts finally woke up from his slump, going 2-for-5 with a homer and 2 RBIs. Betts’ 403-feet home run in the first inning opened the floodgates for the Dodgers, who also torched the Padres from the mound by deploying eight different pitchers. The collective pitching performance from their bullpen in Game 4 is a breath of fresh air for the Dodgers after a disappointing showing from their starting pitchers in the first three games. Perhaps, still kicking their buttocks after blowing a huge opportunity of finishing off their rivals on their home field, the Padres must try to keep their heads up because Game 5 is going to be an all-out war.

Our San Diego Padres vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction
The Dodgers are sending rookie pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto to the mound in the winners-takes-all Game 5 despite a lackluster outing from the Japanese in Game 1. Los Angeles is hoping that Yamamoto will redeem himself from a nightmarish postseason debut where he surrendered five earned runs in 3.0 innings. The Padres, on the other hand, are relying on the battle-tested Yu Darvish, who stifled the Dodgers to one earned run in seven innings in Game 2. The LA Dodgers, who are 7-2 in their last 9 games, will likely get more batting firepower with Freddie Freeman (ankle) listed as probable in Game 5. With both teams evenly matched, it all comes down to who wants it most. I feel the Dodgers, with the firepower they have at their disposal, will get the job done. Yamamoto will prove why he was the hottest pitcher on the market last winter, emerging as the difference-maker by putting up a much better showing in his second postseason game in the MLB. Our betting prediction for Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres: Back the Dodgers to cover -1.5 runs, +150, at Caesars Sportsbook.
