San Diego Padres
(-110/-110)-110
The San Diego Padres will host the Los Angeles Dodgers on June 10, 2025, in what promises to be an exciting National League West matchup. The Padres currently hold a record of 37-28, while the Dodgers sit slightly ahead at 40-27, showcasing their strong seasons. Both teams are vying for supremacy in a tight division race, making this game particularly significant. In their last encounter, the Padres fell to the Dodgers by a narrow 8-7 margin, adding fuel to the competitive fire.
On the mound, the Padres are projected to start Dylan Cease, who has had a challenging season with a 1-5 record and an ERA of 4.72. However, advanced metrics suggest he has been somewhat unlucky, as his 3.22 xFIP indicates potential for improvement. Cease’s ability to strike out batters—averaging 6.6 strikeouts per game—could be crucial against a potent Dodgers lineup that ranks 2nd in overall offense and 1st in batting average this season.
Lou Trivino will take the hill for the Dodgers, but his projections indicate a concerning outing, with only 1.0 innings pitched and 0.6 earned runs expected. The Padres will look to exploit this weakness, especially given their 3rd ranked bullpen in MLB according to Power Rankings.
Betting lines favor the Padres slightly at -120, suggesting a close contest. With an implied team total of 4.35 runs, San Diego’s offense, while ranked 21st overall, has the potential to capitalize on Trivino’s struggles. As the series continues, the Padres will aim to bounce back and even the score against their division rivals.
