## Resource

The Padres are in freefall, losers of five straight including a 23-3 massacre, heading to LA for a make-or-break four-game series against the scorching-hot Dodgers — who just hit a historic milestone with manager Dave Roberts’ 1,000th win. While LA’s rotation and bullpen are firing on all cylinders, led by Wrobleski and a rebounding Scott, San Diego’s offense is cratering, with Machado and Tatis Jr. in slump mode and pitching struggling under injury pressure. The Dodgers’ Ohtani and Yamamoto are crushing it, and their depth makes them nearly unstoppable — but the Padres’ only hope lies in their bullpen, especially closer Mason Miller, who must deliver in low-scoring battles if San Diego wants to keep playoff dreams alive.
