Matchup | Preview 

San Diego is just 14-24 on the season, and they are already 10.5 games out of first place.

The Padres did take the first game last night. Can they take this game behind their Ace Edinson Volquez?

The Dodgers offense really had been revolving around Matt Kemp, so it was a major problem when he went down with an injury. Andre Ethier is also having a terrific season, and now even more pressure is going to fall on his shoulders. Ethier leads the team with 34 RBI’s, and he is hitting .301. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]

Bobby Abreu was cut loose by the Angels earlier this year, and he’s getting lots of playing time for the Dodgers. If Abreu can become a solid contributor that could really help the Dodgers chances. Aaron Harang returns back to San Diego to pitch against his old team in this contest.

Edinson Volquez started the season a little shaky, but he has been very good of late. He has only allowed more than three runs once this year.

He led the Padres to a win over Roy Halladay and the Phillies in his last start. Volquez walks too many batters, but he has been able to get away with it because he is keeping the ball in the ballpark.

San Diego’s offense averages just 3.26 runs per game. Yonder Alonso has been a bright spot for the team so far this year, and he may be a guy they can build their team around in the future. Cameron Maybin and Orlando Hudson are both struggling mightily, and this team needs them to pick up their production.

The Dodgers offense isn’t good at all without Kemp in the middle of the order. Volquez should fare well against Los Angeles this time around.
