Padres pregame: Magic number at 4; Dodgers seeking 107th win
The Padres are 18 games over .500 and have a 98.9 percent chance of making the playoffs. They play the Dodgers at 6:40 p.m. Wednesday. The Brewers will play against the Cardinals at 4: 40 p., while the No. 6 Phillies will take on the Cubs. The Dodgers are still looking for home-field advantage through the World Series. It's the first 107-win season in franchise history. For the Phillies, it's their first pairing with Joe Musgrove since he caught them on Sept. 11. Their previous two starts were caught by Luis Campusano.
The Dodgers are seeking their 107th win. They have 20 wins this season. The team's ERA, WHIP and hit rate would be the best of his career if the season ended today. He has won all three starts this year against the Padres.
Joe Musgrove (10-7, 3.12 ERA) has allowed one run in his last two starts. His last start was cut short after five innings due to fatigue in the shoulder. He has a 5.11 ERA in 12 1/3 IP against the Dodgers.
