Tony Gonsolin has a terrible postseason ERA, but he's been a different pitcher this season. He also went 2-0 with a 0.71 ERA versus the Padres, and the Dodgers finished 19-5 in his starts. Although Gonsolin didn't pitch in September due to a forearm injury, I trust him more than Padres starter Blake Snell. Snell was worse at home this season and got lit up in one of two September starts against LA. The Dodgers have the better bullpen, too. Look for them to bounce back strong following their Game 2 loss.

Tony Gonsolin has made just one start since returning from the IL and he only went two innings. He dominated the Padres in 12.2 IP this season though allowing just 1 run. Blake Snell really struggled against the Mets allowing 2 runs in 3.1 IP and walking 6 batters. He had been dominant down the stretch, but he also struggled in 1 of his 3 starts against the Dodgers this season. Gonsolin won’t go too deep, but the Dodgers don’t need him to with how good their bullpen has been ranked 2nd in the league this season. The Padres bullpen has been great too, but I think they will be overextended because of Snell’s pitch count. I like the Dodgers.

Pricy at -165 for Friday's game but I love me some home runlines at +1.5. If I thought Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin was fully healthy, I'd probably take LA moneyline, but he only returned from injury on Oct. 3 and pitched just two innings, so I can't imagine he goes more than maybe five here. San Diego's Blake Snell faced the Dodgers at Petco Park on Sept. 27 and shut them out over five innings. He was quite good the final month-plus of the regular season.
