⚖️ Analysis Summary
Public and sharp money align strongly behind the Dodgers across moneyline and spread. The data supports following that side rather than fading. Recent Padres form is respectable but injuries to key rotation pieces limit their ability to keep games low-scoring against Los Angeles’ potent offense.
