The Dodgers have started to play better, but they are four games below .500. This is because they are just 12-20 against righthanded starters, including 1-7 during their past eight home games against a righy starter.

I believe Jordan Lyles can hang with Alex Wood especially with the Padres taking 1 1/2 runs in a game projected to have fewer than eight runs scored. Lyles has posted a 2.50 ERA in three starts this season. San Diego is 2-0 during his last two starts.

If given 1 1/2 runs, the Padres would be 13-6 in their last 19 games.
