The Dodgers and Padres will finally match up again on the first weekend in August. By then we may be looking at significantly different versions of these times from the last time they faced off back in early May. August 1st is trade deadline day and game one of this series starts on August 4th. The Dodgers are certainly buyers at the deadline but the Padres find themselves on the fence while in 4th place in the NL West and well outside of the NL Wild Card picture.
Nevertheless, fans can watch the two clubs face off in another national broadcast with ESPN carrying the series finale as part of Sunday Night Baseball.
