Los Angeles at San Diego

The San Diego Padres surprised everyone last year with a low payroll and winning a ton of games. It shows what good pitching can do to a team, and they have opened at 3-2 this season. Dustin Moseley made an excellent debut as a member of the Padres rotation, allowing just 1 run in seven innings of work walking just one and allowing only four hits. The Dodgers have not fared well vs. right-hand pitching where they have been 7-15 going back to the end of last season. The Padres stand-in at 14-5 at home vs. a team with a losing record. The Dodgers are facing a disaster in San Diego at 0-5 their last five trips here. San Diego wins.
