Padres vs. Dodgers: August 28 rubber match preview

The series finale of Padres vs. Dodgers will be a winner-take-all situation for two teams who are trending in completely different directions.

The San Diego Padres were shut out in embarrassing and frustrating fashion on Tuesday, dropping the match 0-9 against Los Angeles Dodgers sensation Walker Buehler. The offense mustered together only five hits and are now 61-70, effectively out of the playoffs in such a crowded wild card chase.

The Dodgers, on the other hand, are crushing the league and cruising to another National League West crown. After losing a close game on Monday, they came out with a vengeance and had their way with the Friars.
