Padres vs. Dodgers: King's Recent Form Tests Los Angeles at -120
Analysis updated September 21, 2026 at 11:23 PM CDT
San Diego's expected starter has pitched well, while Los Angeles plans a bullpen game with Roki Sasaki returning from a blister issue.
King gives San Diego a case
Michael King is 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA over his past five starts, making the Dodgers a difficult favorite to back at SPF's -120 price against the Padres at +100. Sports news agency Field Level Media reports that King is expected to start Tuesday's series opener. He also has a 3.12 ERA in three starts against Los Angeles this season.
The same report says the Dodgers plan an abbreviated return for Roki Sasaki after a blister issue. Manager Dave Roberts described the plan as more of a bullpen game and didn't confirm Sasaki as the starter. That limits how much weight bettors can put on a King-Sasaki comparison; Los Angeles' other pitchers will matter.
Betting recommendation: Pass
Los Angeles gets a narrow winner lean with a 96-60 record and a 14-3 run since Sept. 3, but San Diego has won 13 of its past 14 games. Those results and King's recent pitching don't establish that either moneyline offers value. Pass on the side.
SPF lists the total at 8, with over -115 and under -105. Pages' potential return adds another unresolved factor: Field Level Media reports that Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages is expected back after a broken hand. With his availability unconfirmed and Los Angeles' pitching workload unsettled, pass on the total too.
