San Diego at Los Angeles

The two worst teams in the NL West meet here. The Dodgers’ nice run ended yesterday with a home loss as a favorite, which shouldn’t surprise anyone as this team has a losing record both home and away. The offense ranks No. 26 in baseball in runs scored and No. 25 in slugging, plus the Dodgers are 13-21 (-11.5 Units) against the moneyline in home games after a loss this season. San Diego is a nice dog with ace Mat Latos on the hill, who has a 2.84 ERA his last three starts. He has had a great second half of the season giving up 3 runs or less in 10 starts since July 3. Latos has pitched better than both his record and ERA would indicate this season. He has an ERA of 3.74, with a solid strand rate of 69%. Despite a skid the last few days, the Padres still have a winning record over the last nine games, and they wheel-out their ace here against a terrible offensive team, so they can steal a win or keep this real close. Play the Padres on the runline.
