Who's the Betting Favorite to Win the NL West as the Padres Face the Dodgers?

Mid-August series don't get any bigger than this one.

Tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres as part of a three-game set that could go a long way toward deciding who ultimately wins the division.

Thanks to their win Wednesday paired with a Dodgers loss, the Padres enter the series with a one-game lead in the NL West.

Who's got the edge entering Friday's pivotal matchup? Let's check out FanDuel Sportsbook's MLB betting odds to get some insight.

NL West Betting Odds Entering Padres at Dodgers

Although the Padres are ahead, the Dodgers are still relatively heavy favorites, sitting at -180 to win the division. That puts their implied odds at 64.3%.

Part of that is because FanDuel is expecting the Dodgers to take care of business this weekend.

That mark of -188 means the Dodgers have 65.3% odds to take at least two of three this weekend, based on FanDuel's odds.

If you think the Padres can pull off the upset, though, you have multiple routes for doing so. Not only can you bet them to win the series, but you can even bet them to complete the three-game sweep.

It all starts tonight in Game 1. With Clayton Kershaw on the bump, the Dodgers come in as the favorites to begin the series with a dub.

The Padres are red hot, though, having won 5 straight with a 9-3 record in August. It sets up to be a classic between the two teams as they jockey to see who will win the divisional crown.
