Tatis Jr. hits two homers in Game 2 blowout
Fernando Tatis Jr. hit two homers and doubled Sunday against the Dodgers in Sunday’s Game 2. Tatis homered and doubled off Jack Flaherty, whom he had already enjoyed great success again during the regular-season games, and then added another homer in the ninth after the game was decided. He’s an incredible 9-for-14 with three homers and two doubles in four postseason games.
Freeman’s status for Game 3 uncertain
Freddie Freeman’s status for Game 3 of the NLDS is uncertain after he tweaked his ankle in his second at-bat Sunday. The Dodgers will try to have him ready for Tuesday. If he can’t go, then they’ll likely use Max Muncy at first and Enrique Hernández at third.

Dodgers vs. Padres Game 3 MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Take San Diego. Walker Buehler has been okay of late, but he’s not Michael King. While Buehler is 3-2 with a 4.44 ERA over his last five starts, King is 3-2 with a 1.20 ERA over his last five outings. Over that span, King has averaged 6.0 innings pitched, 0.8 earned runs allowed and 4.6 hits allowed. He’s allowed just one homer over his last five starts. He’s been sick.
Meanwhile, the Padres’ offense is on fire. They’ve scored at least five runs in three straight games and in four out of their last six contests overall. I love San Diego tonight.
