The San Diego Padres (36-36, 22-14 home, 36-33 O/U) are a streaky team, losing two straight after winning straight. The Los Angeles Dodgers (30-40, 11-20 road, 38-29 O/U) haven’t been streaky this year. They’ve just been underachieving most of the year. The San Diego Padres are a streaky team, losing two straight after winning straight. The Los Angeles Dodgers haven’t been streaky this year. They’ve just been underachieving most of the year. Stephen Fife (1-2, 3.74 ERA) has been decent after being called up from the minors. He’s allowed a total of five earned runs over the last three starts. His lone win though came against the Padres on June 3, when he allowed one run in 5 1/3 innings. Jason Marquis (9-2, 3.63 ERA) has won three straight starts and eight straight decisions. He has not suffered a loss sine April 22. He has already made the starts against Los Angeles in 2013, going 2-0 with a 2.37 ERA with 16 strikeouts in 19 innings. There’s nothing like coming off a double-header on Wednesday and then having to fly back from New York to Southern California and having to play at night. San Diego only has to travel from San Francisco to San Diego.Neither lineup is comparable to the 1927 Yankees, but with Marquis pitching well and the Dodgers coming off a tough doubleheader on the East Coast, expect the Padres to take this one. The Dodgers start a four-game series at Petco Park, taking on San Diego in Game 1 on Thursday night at 10:10pmET.
MLB FREE PICK: SAN DIEGO PADRES -133
