Dodgers Probable Pitchers

Through three starts, Davies has been everything the Padres could've hoped for out of a back-end starter acquisition. He has walked just one hitter while using a fastball/cutter/changeup mix to routinely induce very weak contact.

Gonsolin will make a spot start, following the Dodgers' decision to give everyone in their rotation an extra day of rest. Gonsolin threw four scoreless innings in his lone outing at Arizona on July 31, yielding one hit and a walk, with one strikeout.

Paddack owns some of the best fastball command in baseball, so he was particularly upset with himself after throwing just 56 of his 95 pitches for strikes against the D-backs. Paddack beat the Dodgers with six quality innings last week.

The Dodgers are still waiting for Urías to show the consistency needed from a starter. After pitching well to beat Arizona with ample run support, he lasted only four innings against the Giants in his previous start. Originally slated to start Wednesday against the Padres, he was bumped to the series finale so he could get an extra day of rest.

Kershaw rarely disappoints in back-to-back starts, but the three-homer spree by the Giants in his last outing looked similar to his late-season slump last season. Pitch location was the issue, but on the bright side, this year's added velocity hasn't dipped. He'll be working on an extra day of rest, having his turn in the rotation pushed back a day.
