Los Angeles starting pitcher Walker Buehler has not had a solid season at 1-6 with a 5.38 ERA. Buehler pitched well 10 days ago versus San Diego, but a long period between starts could be a problem for the right-hander. LA has struggled at the plate versus San Diego pitching, with Ohtani batting .222, Miguel Rojas .143, Mookie Betts .000 and Will Smith .000.
The Padres have the better bullpen too and we like them to get the win here at home in game 3.
