• Pitching: Snell vs Darvish

The NL West rivalry heats up Friday night at Petco Park as the Dodgers (-122) take on the Padres (+104) in what should be a sharp betting battle. The total is set at 8.5, juiced to the Under at -122, yet recent trends lean the other way.

The OVER has cashed in 5 of L.A.’s last 7 road games in San Diego, and offensive firepower on both sides makes the Over a tempting play. Still, San Diego has held its own, winning 14 of its last 20 matchups against National League opponents, showing strong situational form.

With Snell vs. Darvish on the mound, sharp bettors may wait for live numbers, but both trends suggest runs — and value — are in play.
