US EditionPadres Host the Dodgers to Start 3-Game Series
The Padres, just one game behind the Dodgers in the NL West, aim to reverse a season series deficit with 8 wins out of 10 games held by Los Angeles.
- On Friday, the Los Angeles Dodgers travel to Petco Park to face the San Diego Padres with the NL West on the line, Los Angeles leading 73-55 to 72-56.
- After returning from Colorado with a split, the Los Angeles Dodgers' up-and-down trip reopened the divisional race as San Diego's recent series vs. the Giants brought them within a game.
- Blake Snell's 3-1 record with a 1.80 ERA and six scoreless innings highlight his rotation spot, while Freddie Freeman and Dodgers stars Shohei Ohtani and Mookie Betts anchor the offense.

- Large home crowds and a softer stretch of opponents create a charged backdrop for the series as Petco Park expects crowds of 45,000-plus and 14 projected sellouts among 19 remaining home games this year.
