The Dodgers can be spooked! So it would seem as the Blue seems to be cowering at the sight of the Padres. Who, after Tuesday's 4-2, which ended with a rousing triple play, not only clinched a playoff berth but moved within two of the Dodgers in the NL West. Further, San Diego has now beaten LA in 8 of 11 games this season, having already secured the tiebreaker if needed. Win these next two games and San Diego will be effectively in the lead in the West into the weekend. Dylan Cease has been on fire for the Padres in his last two starts, not allowing a run and just six hits across 14 1/3 IP in shutouts of the Giants and Astros. Meanwhile, jack Flaherty has had a bit of a bumpy go for the Dodgers, allowing seven runs and ten hits, plus six walks, across just 9 IP (ERA 7.00; WHIP 1.78) in his last two starts.
