The Dodgers remained stymied on their current homestand, losing tonight to the Padres, 5-2. Ross Stripling had a career-high six strikeouts, but couldn’t stay out of trouble in the third and fifth innings, and the Dodgers didn’t score after Chase Utley’s two-run homer in the bottom of the third.
Clayton Kershaw takes the mound in the homestand finale Sunday. Oddly, to say the least, the Dodgers finished April tied for first place in the National League West, despite a 12-13 record.

I still don’t think this team wins more than 85, or that it’ll much more than 83 wins to win their division.

Did you think we had forgotten? :)

Just making sure you all remember. I really hope I turn out to be wrong.

You seem less bullish now on the giants and Snakes

Still think both could finish ahead of Dodgers, but those 3 will be close.
