SportsLine's model has simulated San Diego vs. Los Angeles 10,000 times and released its MLB picks for Tuesday Night Baseball

Dodgers outfielder Andy Pages and Padres pitcher Dylan Cease offered insight on a controversial in-game incident.

The belief was Shohei Ohtani wouldn't pitch for the Dodgers until after the All-Star break, but it instead happens one month earlier than expected.

It will be another night of full energy when the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers clash again Tuesday as the National League West rivals continue a run of seven games against each other in 11 days.

BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Dodgers, on a three-game home winning streak, host the San Diego Padres. Los Angeles is 44-29 overall and 26-12 in home games. The Dodgers have a 28-8 record in games when they hit two or more home runs.

Shohei Ohtani makes his grand return to the pitching mound on Monday night, as the Los Angeles Dodgers open a four game-series with the San Diego Padres.
