Turner is 3-for-9 with a home run in each of the first two games of the series. Turner his .298 with 21 home runs, 100 RBI and 27 stolen bases during the season and he'll need to continue to stay hot for the favored Dodgers against their NL West rivals.
Meanwhile, for the Padres, Manny Machado has stayed hot after a season where he put himself in the NL MVP conversation by hitting .298 with 32 home runs, 102 RBI and 9 stolen bases. Machado is 3-for-9 in the series with a home run and 2 RBI. The Padres bested the Mets 2-1 in a three-game series to set up this matchup against the Dodgers and after a 5-3 loss in Game 1, they responded with a 5-3 win in Game 2 to level the series with Machado's first-inning homer setting the tone and Jake Cronenworth's eighth-inning blast sealing the deal.
