As recently as July 3, the Los Angeles Dodgers were sitting on a comfortable nine-game lead in the NL West. The defending World Series champs had won four straight games and 15 of their last 18 games despite having a full 13-man pitching staff on the injured list and getting something less than superstar play from Mookie Betts.

With 42 games to go, the National League West is entirely up for grabs. In the moments after the Padres’ 5-1 victory over the Giants at Oracle Park, the Angels walked off the Dodgers in Anaheim, leaving San Diego and L.

With a pair of weekend series coming up against Los Angeles, the Padres will soon have the opportunity to speed past the Dodgers.
