Following Ohtani, Ben Casparius is expected to pitch for the bulk of the game. The Padres, who recently lost two out of three games to both the Dodgers and Diamondbacks, are aiming to rebound in this series. Meanwhile, Dylan Cease, pitching for the Padres, is looking to turn around a challenging season as he faces the Dodgers again.
