The Story

The Los Angeles Dodgers routed the San Diego Padres 7-0 on September 22, 2026, at UNIQLO Field at Dodger Stadium, with the DiamondIQ model's estimate moving from a 60 percent pre-game home win probability all the way to 100 percent by game's end. The Dodgers did the bulk of their damage in the bottom of the second inning, a four-run frame that effectively ended the contest early. Freddie Freeman's single in that inning was the single biggest play of the game, adding 8.1 percent to Los Angeles's win probability off Padres starter Michael King. Tommy Edman followed with a walk that added another 7.0 percent, and Mookie Betts drew a walk of his own for an additional 6.3 percent swing, with the cumulative pressure of the inning burying San Diego before the game reached the midpoint. Los Angeles tacked on single runs in the fourth, sixth, and seventh innings to complete the shutout, finishing with nine hits against the Padres' five.

Freeman was the clear offensive catalyst, posting a combined WPA of plus 11.5 percent and a RE24 of plus 1.9 on the night, with his second single of the game in the fourth inning off King adding another 3.8 percent to the Dodgers' probability. Edman finished at plus 7.9 percent WPA and plus 1.4 RE24, while Betts contributed plus 6.6 percent WPA. On the pitching side, Roki Sasaki and Blake Treinen each added 3.5 percent to Los Angeles's win probability, with Edwin Díaz contributing an additional 2.3 percent as the Padres were held scoreless across all nine innings and committed no errors despite managing just five hits on the afternoon.
