The first three games of this four-game series have been low-scoring affairs, but I expect both teams to bring their bats here. The LA Dodgers, in particular, should be well up for this contest as they look to avoid heading into the All-Star break off three straight defeats.

Ross Stripling (3-2, 3.45 ERA) will toe the slab for the Dodgers, He has posted a 2.61 ERA in 13 career appearances (five starts) against the Padres, but note that he was tagged with four runs in just 4 1/3 innings against Arizona last time out.

The Friars turn to Joey Lucchesi (6-4, 3.91 ERA) who has surrendered six runs through his last two starts and the over is 6-2 in Lucchesi's last 8 road starts.

Over is 4-1-2 in Stripling's last 7 home starts. Over is 19-7-1 in Padres last 27 Sunday games.

8* play on OVER.
