1* free play on the Los Angeles Dodgers...
The Dodgers have won four straight heading into Game 2 of this series in San Diego tonight. The Padres have lost four of their last six, and this looks like a tough match-up for them.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Pitching - Zack Greinke will be on the mound for the Dodgers, and he's been dominant all season long. Greinke (5-1, 1.92 ERA) gave up just one run on six hits while racking up 8 Ks in 6.2 innings in a no-decision versus St. Louis in his last start. He's 3-0 with a 1.63 ERA on the road so far, and he's 4-0 with a 1.59 ERA in his last seven starts versus San Diego. The Padres counter with Ian Kennedy, who has an ERA of 8.23 at home this season.

2. Andre Ethier - He was 2-for-4 last night, and he's 14-for-39 (.359) with three home runs and seven RBIs lifetime versus Kennedy.

3. X-Factor - Kennedy is 0-7 with a 5.48 ERA in his last 11 starts versus the Dodgers.
