Padres @ Dodgers August 24, 2018: Padres try to conquer Dick Mountain

The Dodgers are playing bad baseball. They are 4.5 games behind the Diamondbacks for first place in the NL West with only 34 games remaining. In their last 10 games, the Dodgers have gone 3-7 while the Diamondbacks have gone 7-3 and the Rockies have gone 8-2 to pass the Dodgers for second in the division. It’s bad right now. At this moment, none of this matters. In about an hour, a 38 year old man will take the mound at Dodger Stadium wearing D. Mountain on the back of his uniform.
