Dodgers vs. Padres prediction and odds for Friday, August 4 (Bet on offense)

The San Diego Padres have won five of their last six games and if they want to get back into the playoff picture, they need to keep this momentum up as they take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a four-game weekend series.

The series opener between these two NL West teams is set for Friday night and I think we're in for an offensive shootout.

Let's dive into it.

Dodgers vs. Padres odds, run line, and total

Dodgers vs. Padres prediction and pick

Few offenses has been as hot as the Dodgers and Padres over the past two weeks. over that time frame, they rank third and fourth in the majors in OPS. The Dodgers have any OPS of .891 during that time span while the Padres have an OPS of .817.

This red-hot Padres offense now gets to face Bobby Miller, who has struggled lately. Dating back to June 17th, Miller has an ERA of 6.63, which means we should expect the Padres to score their fair share of runs off him last night.

I'm surprised the total is only set at 8.5 for tonight, so I won't hesitate to take the OVER.
