The Dodgers are two games back of the Brewers for the best record in the NL, with the Padres tied with the Cubs, and one game ahead of the Phillies, in the battle for Wild Card position.

Padres vs. Dodgers Best MLB Prop Bets

Padres Best MLB Prop Bet

• Jackson Merrill OVER 1.5 Hits + Runs + RBIs (+100)

Jackson Merrill has been one of a few hot bats for the Padres. He’s 21 for 48 (.438) during his 11-game hitting streak with 10 runs scored and 13 RBI.

Merrill has gone OVER 1.5 HRR in all but one of those 11 contests, bringing him up to a 53% clip on the season.

Padres vs. Dodgers Prediction and Pick

It’s tough to take an UNDER in a bullpen game, but that’s what I’m doing tonight in Los Angeles.

As mentioned above, King has been stellar both recently and against the Dodgers this season. After being limited to just 15 starts this season, King has proven to be a top-of-the-line starter through 31 starts this year.

The Dodgers have a 3.87 bullpen ERA on the season, so it’s not a huge risk taking the UNDER tonight at home.

Pick: UNDER 8.5 (-114)
