What the numbers mean:
The consensus odds have Los Angeles installed as a 67% favorite to win the game; SportsMood gives them a 65% chance of winning. The consensus odds are giving the Padres 1.5 runs, and SportsMood agrees.
The consensus odds have Total Runs at 8, but SportsMood places the chances it will be a higher scoring game than that at 59%.
If the Padres do win the game, there is an 78% chance they will win by no more than 9 runs. This is relevant if the Padres take an early lead and the in-game odds move to give the Dodgers 9 or more runs.
If scoring is sluggish in the beginning of the game and the Total Runs line moves to as low as 4.5, there’s a 81% chance the scoring will pick up and go over this number. Conversely, if there is a lot of scoring to start the game and the Total Runs line moves to as high as 13.5, there is a 75% chance scoring will slow and go under this number.
