The Padres nipped the Dodgers, 2-1, on Monday night. The Dodgers have followed up their last four defeats by winning their next game by multiple runs. 
San Diego is improved this season. But they are at least two tiers beneath the Dodgers' "A" level. 
The Padres are 4-13 the last 17 times they've been a road 'dog. 
Dodgers starter Ross Stripling is solid. He would be a No. 2 type starter on some clubs. I expect him to come in with a solid effort. 
Garrett Richards continues on his comeback trail. He's 0-1 with a 4.60 ERA. The Dodgers just saw him this past Wednesday and got to him for four runs on five hits in five innings.
