**Dodgers Look to Complete Sweep of Padres as Series Wraps Up**
LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Dodgers (46-29) aim to finish off a dominant four-game series against the San Diego Padres (39-34) tonight at Dodger Stadium. First pitch is scheduled for 10:10 p.m. ET.
The Dodgers are riding high after a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory Wednesday night, sealed by a Will Smith pinch-hit solo home run. The Padres, who rallied to tie the game in the top of the ninth, are desperate to avoid being swept.
In Wednesday’s game, San Diego managed seven hits, including doubles from Xander Bogaerts, Jake Cronenworth, and Bryce Johnson. The Dodgers matched their hit total, with Dalton Rushing contributing a double and Andy Pages continuing his strong performance with a double and an RBI. Pages is now batting .294.
Tonight’s pitching matchup features Padres rookie Ryan Bergert (1-0, 3.50 ERA) making his fourth start against Dodgers’ right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-5, 2.64 ERA). Yamamoto, after a strong start to the season, has shown some vulnerability at home.
Despite their recent struggles against the Dodgers, experts suggest the Padres offer value as underdogs. The Padres are +200 on the moneyline, and +1.5 (+115) on the run line. While the Dodgers have been winning close games, seven of their last 16 have been decided by a single run.
The over/under for the game is being closely watched, with a slight lean toward the over. The over has hit in seven of the Dodgers’ last 10 games and four of the Padres’ last five.
