The San Diego Padres (88-70) are visiting the Los Angeles Dodgers (97-61) on Thursday, September 24, 2026. The Dodgers have a better record, showing they’ve had a stronger season overall. That’s reflected in the betting odds.
Looking at the spread, the Padres are +1.5 at -149, meaning you’d pay $149 to win $100 if you bet on them to either win outright or lose by just one run. The Dodgers are favored at -1.5 with odds of 124, so a $100 bet would net $124 if they win by two or more runs. The line suggests the Dodgers are expected to win by a small margin.
On the moneyline, the Dodgers are -175 favorites. You’d need to bet $175 to win $100 on them outright. The Padres are underdogs at +145, so a $100 bet on them would pay $145 if they pull off an upset. This aligns with the spread, showing the Dodgers as the stronger team but not overwhelmingly so.
The total runs expected in the game is 7.5. The over and under are both priced at -110, meaning you’d wager $110 to win $100 on either more or fewer runs than that. This suggests a moderately scoring game is anticipated.
In summary, the Dodgers are the clear favorites, but the Padres keep it close in the spread. If you like the Dodgers, a small spread or moneyline bet makes sense. If you prefer to play it safer, the Padres +1.5 offers some cushion. The 7.5 run total hints at a balanced game offensively.
