San Diego @ Los Angeles picks

Ryan Bergert will make his fourth start of the year. Since transitioning out of the bullpen due to injuries, he has thrown 86 and 83 pitches in his first two starts before 90 in his most recent. He struck out just six batters in those first two starts before clustering eight punchouts in his latest one. He is not a K/inning pitcher, even when he was in the bullpen. Facing the Dodgers in Dodger Stadium with great hitting conditions which include 10-mph winds blowing out isn’t going to help his cause tonight. THE BAT is projecting just 76 pitches today and his Under 3.5 Ks at -115 is a good look even at that short number. He could get tagged or it could look like his first start where he goes five innings with two strikeouts. 
He owns a .188 BABIP that isn’t going to be maintained.

With a 1.069 OPS, it’s no surprise that Andy Pages has racked up 14 RBIs so far in June, while hitting .361, and he stands out as a tricky matchup for San Diego rookie Ryan Bergert. Pages has clubbed 37 of his 50 RBIs against righties, as well as 12 of his 15 dingers.

Tatis is hitting .387 with a 1.001 OPS over his last nine games, which includes six matchups against the Dodgers. He's also 3-for-5 in his career vs. Yamamoto, who is in a bit of a slump heading into this matchup.
