The Dodgers vs Padres will play the first of a three-game series in San Diego. Martinez's secret is to beat the Dodgers by striking out a lot of batters and limiting HRs. Check, check, and check again for Yu Darvish. Despite being an LHP, Sean Manaea has had less success against LAD. His.893 OPS is higher than that of every other Dodger besides Freddie Freeman. Jake Cronenworth is the one surprising bat who has yet to appear. The Padres must maintain their lead until Tatis Jr. returns. Following that, it will be a dogfight between the Dodgers and the Padres.
