San Diego has played 13 home games and only six on the road. The Padres go with knuckleballer Matt Waldron, starting the season on the 15-day IL after February hernia surgery. In the last two years, he's had ERAs of 4.91 and 7.71. Los Angeles comes home from an impressive seven-game trip, going 4-3. They just won two of three at Yankee Stadium, 7-1 and 11-4, as underdogs of +150 and +245. The offense is fourth in runs scored, 10th in on-base percentage, and fifth in slugging. The Angels are 4-0 when Jose Soriano (0.33 ERA) starts. He has a 31-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 27 innings, while holding batters to a .103 average. Play the Los Angeles Angels.

Los Angeles at San Diego
May 14, 2025
9:40 PM Eastern
The Angels once again find themselves in the basenemnt of the AL West with a 17-24 record. You can't win on this level without reasonably good pitching, and that is where the Angels look the worst. They have played 41 games, and allowed opponents to score 220 runs. That is the worst mark in the entire American League. That has led to a lot of games playing OVER for this team. That has been very true of late as the Angels are 11-3 to the OVER in their last 14 games. San Diego has a good pitching staff that is going through a tough stretch. The Padres have allowed 47 runs in their last seven games, and they are on a 5-0 OVER run. Bet this game OVER the total.
