The set-up: Chris Paddack has had a very good rookie season for the Padres despite what happens here today. Kenta Maeda hasn't fared as well for the Dodgers this year, but I still think he has more than enough to get the job done in this particular matchup. All things considered, I believe this to be a very fair price.

The pitchers: Paddack (7-5, 2.78 ERA) comes in off a win vs. the Orioles on Monday, allowing just one run over five innings. It's difficult to say anything negative about Paddack, I simply feel that he's in the wrong place at the wrong time here.

Maeda (7-8, 4.07) enters off a terrible start vs. the Rockies on Monday, allowing six runs over four innings. Overall though Maeda has been strong this season with a 118/38 K/W spanning 112.2 innings.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but San Diego is a poor 26-32 (-8.1 units) this year following a loss, while LA is 21-8 (+8.9 units) this season as a home fav in the -125 to -175 range. As mentioned off the top, I think this is a great price.
