Padres Take Baseball’s Hottest 10-Game Run Into Los Angeles
San Diego arrives in Los Angeles at 9-1 over its last 10, the best mark on the schedule, with five consecutive wins. The Dodgers have hardly backed off: they are 7-3 over the same stretch, have won four straight and, like the Padres, are 15-5 over their last 20. The division table is less balanced. Los Angeles is 96-60 with a nine-game NL West lead and has taken seven of 10 meetings from San Diego this season.
Michael King starts for the Padres after working 181 innings with a 3.03 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. His 4.16 FIP is considerably higher than the ERA, and Los Angeles is a difficult place to test that gap. The Dodgers average 5.00 runs per game, rank second in MLB in slugging and carry a .765 OPS.
Los Angeles had not named a probable starter when this preview was prepared, leaving half of the pitching matchup unknown. What is already clear is the setting: the Padres bring the strongest recent run in baseball into a park where the Dodgers are 50-28, against a team that has controlled the season series.
