It’s a win or go home contest in the National League Division Series as a pair of NL West rivals continue their series in southern California. It’s the Los Angeles Dodgers making the in-state trek down I-15 as they face the San Diego Padres in Game 3 of their best-of-five series Friday night. These teams split the first two games of the set in the City of Angels with the Dodgers prevailing 5-3 in the series opener Tuesday night before the Padres answered with a similar 5-3 triumph in Game 2 of the series on Wednesday night. Will the series come to a halt here or will we see a winner-take-all Game 5? This article was published prior to the conclusion of Game 3 at Petco Park Friday night.
Los Angeles lost home field advantage in the series as they were unable to earn the victory in Game 2 of the series Wednesday night.

In Game 2 Wednesday night, Los Angeles got two hits each from Gavin Lux, Max Muncy (run, RBI) and Freddie Freeman (run, RBI) in the loss. Freeman (his first), Muncy (his first) and Trea Turner (his second) each homered in the loss for the Dodgers, who were zero for eight with runners in scoring position in the game.
