What has been surprising is the performance of the Padres. San Diego fell back with the baseball betting odds in 2021. However, the Padres are storming back with a vengeance in 2022. Both the Pads and Dodgers have strong pitching and capable lineups. The difference comes down to the Los Angeles payroll. To illuminate, the Dodgers have the biggest payroll in baseball. Saturday night, these rivals clash in LA on FOX.

Padres at Dodgers SBG Odds Analysis – New vs. Old Money
On this occasion, we have teams with near-identical records on the field. But the Padres and Dodgers have vastly different online betting results at the payout window. San Diego is vastly more profitable than Los Angeles. Cause by the huge overlay prices on the Dodgers. Casual gamblers flock to bet on the Dodgers. Especially when LA plays at Dodger Stadium.
Meanwhile the Padres are not anywhere close to a public team. And that means when San Diego is winning, they pay well. In like manner, the Padres cost far less on a loss.
Padres Hit Rough Patch
Late on, the Padres have lost six of their most recent ten games. Only three of their last nine games have gone over the total. San Diego stands at 45-30 with 33-40-2 under the total. Overall, the Padres rank 10th for run production, 24th for home runs, 5th for earned run average, 2nd for fewest errors committed, and 9th for bullpen earned run average.
