Dodgers vs Padres live score updates: NLDS Game 1 lineups, how to watch MLB playoffs

LOS ANGELES — The hottest baseball rivalry on the West Coast picks up in the playoffs once again.

The National League West winner Los Angeles Dodgers host the San Diego Padres in Game 1 of the National League Divisional Series at Dodger Stadium on Saturday. It’ll be the third time the divisional rivals will meet in the postseason in the past five seasons.

Fresh off their wild-card sweep of the Atlanta Braves, the Padres will send Dylan Cease to the mound while the No. 1 seed in the NL will have Yoshinobu Yamamoto on the bump.

The Padres had the edge in the season series, winning it 8-5. But the last time these two faced off, it ended with the Dodgers celebrating another division title.

The Dodgers will try to get rid of some postseason demons they've dealt with. They’ve lost six straight playoff games, which started when the Padres knocked them out of the divisional round in 2022.

Follow along for updates from Saturday's game:

Clayton Kershaw finished for 2024

LOS ANGELES — As the Los Angeles Dodgers head into the 2024 postseason in need of pitching depth, they won't have their future Hall of Fame left-hander.

Manager Dave Roberts announced ahead of Game 1 of the National League Divisional Series that Clayton Kershaw will not pitch again this season.

“Clayton has done everything he can to keep this thing moving forward and giving himself a chance to participate in the postseason,” Roberts said. "But where he's at right now, physically, the foot, the toe, just is not cooperating. It's actually getting worse. Yeah, this is it for Clayton for 2024."
