LOS ANGELES (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres on Saturday in a July 4 matinee at Dodger Stadium, with first pitch set for 4:10 p.m. PDT. The Dodgers (57-31) hold baseball’s best record and a commanding 14-game lead over the Padres (43-43) in the National League West. Los Angeles has won four of the past five meetings between the division rivals, including a 12-7 victory Thursday night that opened this four-game series. Players to watch Padres second baseman Jake Cronenworth enters Saturday’s game in a modest slump, hitting 1 for 9 over his past three games. But he connected for a home run and drove in three runs in Thursday’s loss to the Dodgers. In five career games at Dodger Stadium this season, Cronenworth is batting .278 with two homers and six RBIs. Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing has been a nightmare for San Diego pitching. He went 4 for 4 with a home run and four RBIs on Thursday and is batting .375 (6 for 16) with two homers and five RBIs in four games against the Padres this season. Betting line Los Angeles is a minus-1.5 run-line favorite, according to Interstat’s game simulator, which projects a 7-4 Dodgers victory. The over/under is 8½ runs. Schedule The series concludes Sunday before the Padres return home for four games against the Arizona Diamondbacks starting Monday. The Dodgers host the Colorado Rockies for three games beginning Monday, then welcome the Diamondbacks for a three-game set starting Friday.
