The Dodgers-Padres rivalry weekend begins Friday night at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers (68-53) are the ones in the corner this time. They’ve lost four straight and have fallen into second place behind the Padres (69-52) who are on a five-game winning streak coming into the much anticipated and heated series.

Clayton Kershaw (6-2, 3.14 ERA, 1.256 WHIP) makes his 48th career start against the Padres. San Diego goes with opener Wandy Peralta (5-1, 3.13 ERA, 1.335 WHIP).
