The Dodgers won an MLB-best 98 games in the regular season, but this version of the team is a shell of itself, and the mounting injuries will be their undoing.

L.A.’s starting pitching depth has been wiped out with injuries to Tyler Glasnow, Clayton Kershaw, Gavin Stone, Dustin May, Tony Gonsolin, and others. This is forcing the Dodgers to use a bullpen game while facing elimination.

While the bullpen did well to hold San Diego hitless over the final three innings, that is not a sustainable recipe for success.

San Diego has a huge pitching edge with Dylan Cease toeing the rubber. Cease has pitched to a 10.13 ERA in just 2 2/3 postseason innings, but he was lights out in the second half of the season, improving his ERA from 3.99 to 2.66. He had a three-start span from mid-to-late July where he allowed just two hits over 22 innings, and two of those opponents were playoff teams (Braves and Guardians).

Cease has one of the biggest weapons among starting pitchers, a slider that held opponents to a .159 OBA and induced a 45% whiff rate. Couple that with Freddie Freeman hobbling around on a bum ankle and Mookie Betts going a combined 8-for-58 in his last four postseason series, and the red-hot Padres should finish this series tonight.

On fire doesn’t even begin to describe Tatis this postseason. Coming into yesterday’s game, Tatis ranked first in batting average, on-base percentage, slugging, and OPS among all batters in postseason play (min. 40 plate appearances).

After his two-run home run in the second inning yesterday, Tatis was 10-for-16 with four home runs, seven RBIs, two doubles, and three walks this postseason.

Tatis has also been deadly against fastballs this season, as he had a 200 wRC+, a .348 ISO, and .652 slugging against the pitch.

Our best MLB betting sites expect him to produce at least one base hit, as the O/U for his hits is set at 1.5. And given that the implied probability for the Over on his 1.5 total bases is as high as 52.38% at DraftKings, there is great value on his +145 odds to drive in a run at FanDuel compared to Caesars who is on the low end at +129.

A $10 winning wager at FanDuel’s +145 odds would net $14.50 in profits.

Mike started in the sports writing industry in July 2019, and gained a lot of followers in his first year after finishing with the No. 2 overall record in an annual NFL betting competition, which made picks against the spread, and from an Over/Under and moneyline perspective. Mike is an avid fan of the NFL, MLB, tennis, and all college sports. In his opinion, March Madness is the best sporting event there is, and he's especially euphoric starting with conference tournament time in college basketball. Mike's a big advocate of "fading the public" and making plays that are contrarian, constantly citing that "there are reasons why they have those big shiny buildings in Las Vegas." When making wagers, Mike always scours the best odds at all of the major sports betting sites, where he mostly sifts through DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, and bet365. He's tried several others and is of the firm belief that bettors should not just stick to one sportsbook, as there is always likely better value to be had with the same wager. In addition, while Mike received his undergraduate degree from Villanova University, he has no issue betting against the Wildcats when it comes to college basketball wagering, and suggests other bettors should always put their “head” before their “hearts.”
