The San Diego Padres will look to avoid a four-game sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers. MacKenzie Gore will get the start for the Padres while Clayton Kershaw gets the call for the Dodgers. Gore has posted a 3.34 Era and a 1.33 WHIP this season. He has struggled in two games against the Rockies but looked good against the Phillies in his last start, going five shutout innings. an issue. He rolls into this matchup carrying a 3.34 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and a 65/28 K/BB ratio over 59+ innings of work. Kershaw also struggled against the Rockies, allowing six runs on nine hits in four innings in his last outing. He has posted a 2.94 ERA, and a 1.10 WHIP. He threw six innings of one-hit ball against the reds in the start before the Rockies' outing. Dodgers are 8-3 in their last 11 games The Dodgers are 8-0 in their last eight, home games against the Padres, and the Padres are 1-13 in their last 14 games against the Dodgers. I expect Kershaw to bounce back in this one and Gore seems to be struggling with velocity, which is not good when facing this Dodgers lineup.

Play on LA DODGERS, minus 1.5 runs. This is a 9* play.
