The Padres have the second-lowest strikeout rate since the All-Star Break when facing left-handed pitchers, striking out on just 16.0% of plate appearances against them.

Ohtani is expected to be available for the whole series; the two-way marvel missed Thursday’s win in Colorado after he was pelted by a line drive atop the mound.

Unfortunately, even with Thursday’s 9-5 win over the Rockies, the Dodgers only managed a split of the four-game series.

The opposing Padres offense has a collective .251 batting average, and is 15th in the league with 1067 total hits and 22nd in MLB play with 531 runs scored.
