Both rank inside the Top 50 in <a href=\"http:\/\/m.mlb.com\/prospects\/2017?list=prospects\">MLBPipeline.com\u2019s prospect list<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the centerpiece of the offense is Wil Myers who was the team\u2019s lone All-Star last season, during which he led the Padres in several departments: batting (.259), homers (28), RBIs (94), OBP (.336) and hits (155).<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, taking the mound will be Jhoulys Cacin. The Venezuelan veteran signed a one-year deal with San Diego during the offseason, and is making his second Opening Day appearance of his career. He also capped off last season with a 0.75 ERA in four final starts for the Angels.<\/p>\n<p>San Diego is 4-6 SU in its last 10 meetings with Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Los Angeles Dodgers<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\"><strong>Moneyline: -365<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Dodgers have owned the National League West for the the past four seasons, and that streak could continue with last year\u2019s core mostly still intact.<\/p>\n<p>Headlining a potent offense for LA is Corey Seager, the reigning Rookie of the Year. He finished with a .308 batting average, a.365 OBP and 193 hits last season\u2014all of which were team-highs. Seager, however, struggled against the Padres in that same season with a triple-slash line of .200\/.256\/.253.<\/p>\n<p>Clayton Kershaw is getting the nod, marking his seventh-consecutive Opening Day start. Hence, things should turn out fine for the Dodgers who are 7-3 SU during regular-season openers against San Diego. Kershaw is 14-6 with a 2.05 ERA in 29 career starts in this matchup.<\/p>\n<p>Los Angeles is priced at <a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb-futures\"><strong>-250<\/strong><\/a> to win the NL West again.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>Dodgers (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/baseball\/mlb\"><strong>-365<\/strong><\/a>) win, 5-0.<\/p>\n<p><a
