Tuesday at Dodger Stadium was fun. The last two nights? Not so much. Los Angeles pummeled the Padres in Thursday's finale, and in doing so secured the NL West crown. The bullpen was spotty and the lineup is slumping. Now the Friars have work to do to secure homefield advantage at Petco Park. What does the playoff picture look like, and how worried should we be after the last couple days? Starting pitching is still rock solid, but some key bats have cooled off. Darnay and Todd discuss.
