The Los Angeles Dodgers will try again to end the NL West race in tonight’s finale of a two-game road set against the San Diego Padres.

The pressure is on for Los Angeles, which had a six-game cushion as recently as Thursday, to wrap up its fourth division title in six seasons before the final weekend, when they play three at home against the Rockies.

Jon Garland will try to help by rebounding from his first loss since coming to the Dodgers on Aug. 31 in a trade with Arizona.

Garland, 3-1 with a 1.91 ERA in five starts as a Dodgers starter, has never faced the Padres with Los Angeles.

Clayton Richard gets the start as San Diego seeks a fourth straight win, but the lefthander hasn’t earned a victory since Sept. 1.

The Padres are 21-11 since Aug. 25, trailing only the New York Yankees and Cincinnati in that span.
