"Seven to Won" - Padres
The Dodgers will start Julio Urias on the mound. He has an ERA of 2.32, with 137 Ks, a WHIP of 0.95, and a W-L 14-7. He has performed amazingly well this season and has won in four of his five previous starts. He is on course to serve his best season strikeout average. He has a nasty off-the-plate curve ball and dishes out high heat with 96 mph fastballs.
The Padres will start Sean Manaea on the hill tonight. He has an ERA of 4.90, with 136 Ks, and a W-L of 7-7. He loses touch with the game if he gives some early hits in the game, but his strikeout average has been pretty solid so far. He is used to giving away hits but punches out the hitters with equal intensity. He doesn't possess a good away record, so he might look to put in a good performance this time round.
