While not shirking his share of responsibility, Tatis clung to the positives: six weeks remain in the regular season. The Padres host the Dodgers for three games beginning Friday at Petco Park. There's no reason to throw in the towel yet.

The San Diego Padres were recently swept by the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-game weekend set, which took place at Dodger Stadium. Two of the three games were one-run games, and the Padres will have their chance at redemption later this week with three games against the Dodgers at Petco Park.

BOTTOM LINE: The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres square off in the final game of a three-game series. The Dodgers can sweep the series with a win. Los Angeles has a 70-53 record overall and a 40-24 record at home. The Dodgers have a 55-12 record in games when they scored five or more runs.
