The pressure is on for Los Angeles after losing two in a row, and now down 2-1 in the series. Facing elimination, the Dodgers will go with a bullpen-by-committee for this game. The Dodgers are 1-8 in their last nine playoff games, plus 0-7 in their last seven postseason road contests. San Diego players admitted they fed off the energy of the record Game 3 crowd of 47,744. Dylan Cease (3.47 ERA) has had a strong season with 224 strikeouts in 189+ innings while holding batters to a .200 average. He faced the Dodgers at home once this year and won 8-1. San Diego's bullpen has a 2.50 ERA in the playoffs after ranking 11th in ERA during the regular season and eighth in WHIP. The Padres are on a 10-7-1 run UNDER the total at home, plus they've won four straight at home against winning teams. Play San Diego + UNDER the total.
