In his six appearances at home, Pivetta has allowed just four walks and seven hits. In his most recent outing against the Dodgers, he posted six scoreless innings.

Bettors should consider laying the money with the Padres' moneyline at +102, as the Padres have won five of the last eight times they have played the Dodgers in San Diego. The Dodgers are 16-16 on the road, which is the fifth best in the league, but the Padres have won four of their last six games at home overall, and have a strong home record of 20-10, which is the sixth best in the MLB.

The San Diego Padres host the Los Angeles Dodgers in what promises to be an exciting matchup. With both teams hungry for victory, tonight's game is sure to be a thrilling contest.
