Padres looking for their first series win against the Dodgers since June 2021 at Petco Park
allowed the Padres to strike first in a series against the Dodgers for the second week in a row and kept Los Angeles’ magic number at 6.A win on Saturday or Sunday would secure the Padres’ first series win over the Dodgers since sweeping them June 21-23, 2021, at Petco Park.
The Padres have been outscored 81-35 in dropping 10 of 14 meetings this year to the Dodgers and things won’t get any easier on Saturday against left-hander Julio Urias, an NL Cy Young candidate who leads the Senior Circuit in ERA and ERA-plus and has long been a thorn in the Padres’ side . The Padres will counter with one of their harder throwers in Blake Snell, who also has had his share of success against the Dodgers in the regular season as well as that infamous World Series meeting in 2020.Snell has a 2.20 ERA, 68 strikeouts and a .609 opponent OPS in nine starts since the All-Star break, although the Padres are just 5-4 in the stretch because of their inconsistent offense.
Snell was a tough-luck loser on Monday, striking out 10 and allowing one run in six innings in the Padres’ 5-0 loss to Arizona. With a lefty on the mound for the Dodgers, the only pure left-handed hitters in the lineup are Juan Soto in the two-hole and second baseman Jake Cronenworth, who walked off Friday’s win with a single and will bat sixth on Saturday.
