The Padres face the struggling White Sox in a crucial series as they chase a playoff spot.

The San Diego Padres, with an 83-70 record, enter a three-game series against the struggling Chicago White Sox, who have lost six straight games. The Padres are three games behind the Dodgers in the NL West race and hold a four-game lead over the Mets for the second NL wild-card spot. A strong performance against the White Sox could secure the Padres' fourth postseason berth in six seasons. The series opener features right-handers Dylan Cease and Davis Martin, with the Padres boasting a better offense and batting average than the White Sox, who need at least six wins in their final nine games to avoid a third straight 100-loss season. The game will be streamed on Fubo, with regional restrictions.
