10* NL TOTAL OF THE WEEK (80-63 MLB RUN!)
(MLB) San Diego vs. LA Dodgers,
Total: 9.50 | -103.00 Under
Result: Loss
10* UNDER Padres/Dodgers (NL TOW)

Both sides have been playing to several higher-scoring games of late, but I expect more of a "duel" here in the opener of this series.

San Diego lost two of three to the Astros over the weekend, and all threee games went OVER the number. Note though that the Padres have seen the total go UNDER the number in five of their last six after playing to three or more straight OVERS in a row.

The Dodgers have now won three of their last four. They've seen the total go over in six straight now though.

The Padres hand the ball to Pedro Avila (1-2, 2.19 ERA), while the home side counters with Gavin Stone (1-0, 10.50.)

Two hungry starters. This pick though is based upon the overall situation, combined with the above trend.

These teams have been playing to a lot of OVERs of late, but all signs point to this one staying well UNDER once it's all said and done.

Good luck, NP
