A lot is being made of Blake Snell making his first start since last year’s World Series controversy in game six. The Dodgers’ group of bats is the last thing he wants to see to try to right the ship. The Dodgers will also be throwing Bauer out there who has been great to open games and as the season progresses, Dave Roberts will have a better idea of his flow and rhythm and not to keep him in too long and get hit hard in the late innings.

Furthermore, the Dodgers have had tons of success versus the veteran in recent matchups. Combine this with the fact that Los Angeles has owned the Padres at Petco Park winning 35 of their last 51, overall, and I like the road team's chances to get the sweep Sunday.
