The Dodgers have lost 4 of their last 5 games, including their last 2, and maybe facing the slumping Padres is just what they need to right their ship.

Scott Kazmir (3-3 4.89 ERA) goes for L.A. tonight and in his last start he gave up 2 earned runs in 8 innings in a 5-3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Dodgers have won 2 of their last 3 games with him on the hill.
In the last 2 seasons Kazmir has faced the Padres 2 times going 11 innings and giving up 2 earned runs. He beat them earlier this season and in his career he has an ERA of 3.18 in 3 starts facing them.
In Kazmir’s first 4 starts this season he had a less than stellar ERA of 6.63, but in his last 4 he has an ERA of 3.67.
The Dodgers are 2-5 in Kazmir’s last 7 starts.
This season the Dodgers are 11-9 on the road.
San Diego Padres
The Padres’ strength this season has been their pitching, which ranks 14th in team ERA while their offense only ranks 26th in runs scored.
Their pitching has been pretty solid as of late, but their offense has really struggled only totaling 5 runs in their 4-game losing streak.
Christian Friedrich (0-1 1.50) goes for the Padres and in his last start, which was his first of the season, he was solid going 6 innings and only giving up 1 earned run, but he got no support in a 1-0 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers.
Friedrich was 0-4 with a 5.25 ERA in 68 relief appearances with Colorado last season.
In 10 career relief appearances facing the Dodgers Friedrich has an ERA of 9.00.
