San Diego Padres (9-7) vs Los Angeles Dodgers (13-2)
Sunday, April 18, 2021 at 4:10 pm
The Dodgers are the hottest team in baseball and have already won the first two games of this series, but I think we are getting great value at home in what should be a 50-50 game. Bauer and Snell should both perform very well, and then it comes down to the bullpens. According to FanGraphs, the Padres own the better bullpen in terms of projected WAR (4.7 for SD and 4.3 for LAD). The Padres did not use their top arms in last night's loss either, so expect most guys to be available out of the pen for San Diego. Snell should be able to hold down the fort long enough for the Padres to steal this game, so I will take the plus money.
