Emmet Sheehan (4-2. 4.17) vs. Hunter Greene (5-3, 2.63).
The Dodgers and Padres are tied atop the NL West with 31 games to go, and it doesn't look any easier from here for the Dodgers. Now that we're don playing the Padres this season, we have to focus on contenders like the Cincinnati Reds, 1.5 games out of the final wild card slot and hungry to overtake the Mets. Not the best team for us to host, starting off by facing local phenom Hunter Greene (Sherman Oaks Notre Dame High School), whose fastball can top 100 mph.
Meanwhile, the Padres have the easiest remaining strength of schedule in the majors, with a winning percentage of .474, featuring cream-puff opponents like the Twins, Rockies, Orioles, and White Sox. The Padres also finish the season with six games at home, while the Dodgers finish on the road.
This doesn't stack up well for the good guys. I'm pretty freaked out.

@Saxy....Your Conforto comments are really entertaining!! :) :) :)
Also watching the Padres @ Mariners game. Padres' Brash gets Machado to K for the first out
Brash gets a favorable call on Boegarts with two on and one out. So that's the second out, a called strike 3. Top 8, Mariners up 9-5.
Betts with a sweet play at short to get the third out!
Great pitching tonight from Sheehan.
I hope the team is getting it back together and not teasing us.
Tying run at the plate for the Padres: Laureano, bases loaded, two out.
@karen 9.02p: totally agree
Brash with a 96mph pitch at the knees freezes Laureano. Strike three called, Mariners go to the bottom of the eighth up 9-5.
