Game Prediction
The Dodgers are showing they are the best team in the league right now. With the roster depth they have, they could easily win this game today. While the Padres are no slouches, they will be facing a top-tier lineup today. There are also the Dodgers hitters going against Darvish who is good but could have a long day today.
Along with the gut feeling, the data also supports the Dodgers due to their hitting getting hot at the right time. Today, the Dodgers also is getting their young homegrown star Buehler back against the Padres and could do well. This Mother’s Day, the Dodgers will win sending San Diego fans back to their mothers in shame and drunk.
