NL West Division foes, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres will square off in a short two-game round. LA failed to make it past the Astros in their last series, with Shohei Ohtani's home run not being enough to save them in Game 2 either. However, the Boys in Blue escaped a sweep as they managed to win the third and final game.
Despite the loss, LA remains at the top of its division. Tyler Glasnow will get the ball in Game 1 as the club's starter. His excellent pitching prowess has helped the team prevail throughout this season.
San Diego is competing for the playoffs as they trail LA by 6.5 games. It's a tough challenge for the Padres, as they have key players like Fernando Tatis Jr., Joe Musgrove and Wandy Peralta on the injured list.
