Padres vs Dodgers MLB Live Stream Reddit for Friday's Game
By Ryan Giglio
Two National League West foes continue their four-game series on Friday as the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres face off at Dodgers Stadium. The Dodgers won the series' first game 8-2 on Thursday thanks in part to rookie catcher Will Smith's grand slam.
How to Live Stream the Game
This evening's action is slated to begin at 10:10 p.m. ET and will be broadcast regionally on SNLA and FSSD as well as nationally on ESPN. Streaming is available via the MLB Streams subreddit.
Padres Lineup
San Diego's lineup is led by superstar rookie shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. The rookie is hitting .329 with 19 home runs, 45 RBI and 14 steals. While Manny Machado and his 26 home runs and 68 RBI is hitting third. Former All-Star Wil Myers is sandwiched between the two young stars.
The Padres will hope the firepower surrounding Myers will help him break out of struggles. Myers is hitting only .222 with a .725 OPS on the season, but is batting .318/.400/.591 in his last seven games.
Lefty Eric Lauer (5-8 4.52 ERA) takes the bump for San Diego. The former first-round pick has not been able to go deep into games lately, with outings of 4.2, 2.1 and 1.1 innings in his last three starts.
Dodgers Lineup
Much of the Dodgers success in recent years have been in part due to unconventional roster moves and positioning. Well, while some may question the unestablished slugger Tyler White hitting leadoff, is anyone in position to question any decision made by the Dodgers?
With established guys like Max Muncy, Justin Turner and Cody Bellinger hitting behind him, maybe manager Dave Roberts hopes that Lauer will groove a pitch or two to White.
The Dodgers will send their best pitching prospect Dustin May to the mound to make his Major League debut. May, nicknamed "Gingergaard," had a 2.30 ERA in five Triple-A starts this year and is known for his 92-97 mph fastball. The Dodgers will hope May can be a valuable piece down the stretch, especially after they failed to acquire any big-named pitching help at the Trade Deadline.
