Even though Urias had a difficult second half of April, he was able to recover for his first performance in May. On Tuesday, Urias defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 13-1 with seven innings of one-run, one-hit ball.

The total went OVER in 10 of the LA Dodgers’ last 14 matches.

For 6.2 innings, Yu Darvish controlled the Dodgers, giving up only one run on four hits, a walk, and six strikeouts.

Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Diego Padres. The MLB pick for this game is the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Prior to his outstanding effort against the Phillies this past Tuesday, Julio Urias gave up 11 earned runs in his previous two appearances.

Since the current Padres are just 23 for 124 against Urias with five doubles and six home runs, anticipate the Dodgers’ left-hander to continue in the right direction.

Fernando Tatis Jr. and Juan Soto each only one hit in 20 at-bats against Urias, while Manny Machado is 10-for-29 against him.

Bet on Los Angeles to win because, on the other hand, the current Dodgers are 51-for-166 against Joe Musgrove while hitting 12 doubles and four home runs.

The majors’ leading home run hitter with 12 home runs, Max Muncy, is 9-for-23 against Musgrove. The Los Angeles Dodgers will win to a predicted score of 6-3.
