Los Angeles is a road favorite, but a .500 team away from Dodger stadium. This is the end of a five-game trip, and the team has dropped four consecutive contests to fall 4.5 games behind first-place San Francisco in the NL West. The defense and pitching have been brutal, allowing 25 runs the last four games. They've also lost six of seven allowing 38 runs. The Dodgers go with Kenta Maeda, and since opening the season with five quality starts in his first six appearances, Maeda has allowed four runs in consecutive starts. The team is 0-4 his last four starts allowing 20 hits, 14 runs, and nine walks in 21+ innings. San Diego winds up a six-game homestand, going for the sweep. The Padres are 7-3 in righty Colin Rea's last 10 starts. San Diego has won six of the last 11 games, winning all six as a dog, including +220, +180, +155, and +160. Play San Diego.
