San Diego Padres vs. L.A. Dodgers Preview
1. The Dodgers have the best home record in the Majors.
2. The Dodgers have won 4 of their 6 games facing the Padres this season.

[dfads params=’groups=63744&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
In their games the Padres lost to the Chicago Cubs 3-0 and the Dodgers lost to the San Francisco Giants 4-0.
The Dodgers are still in the lead in the NL West, but they have lost 3 straight and 6 of their last 10 games. They are coming off being swept on the road against the Giants for the 2nd time this season and now only lead San Francisco by 1.5 games.
The Dodgers have won 12 o their last 16 home games facing the Padres.
[dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Padres have lost 2 in a row and 7 of their last 10 games and sit 5 games back of the Dodgers.
L.A. ranks 6th in the Majors in runs scored, but in being swept by the Giants in the 3 game seires they did not score a single run. In the history of their franchise they have never been shut out for 4 straight games.
Even with their offense struggling as of late it is easy to see why the Dodgers are the big home favorite, as Zach Greinke is on the hill. He ranks 3rd in the Majors in ERA and while he suffered his first loss of the season in his last outing he only gave up 1 earned runs in 6 innings, but he got no run support and his bullpen let him down in the 7-1 loss to the Colorado Rockies.
Before the Rockies gave Greinke was 16-0 facing teams from the NL West in 20 starts with an ERA of only 1.79. He is 5-0 with a 1.58 ERA in 9 career starts against the Padres and the Dodgers already have 2 wins this season over the Padres with him on the hill.
Andrew Cashner goes for the Padres tonight and he is getting no help from his offense lately. He has lost 5 straight starts and in that span San Diego has only scored a grand total of 2 runs. In his last outing he gave up 3 earned runs in 6 innings in a 4-1 loss to the Washington Nationals.
[dfads params=’groups=63745&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
The Padres are 1-4 in Cashner’s last 5 road starts.
