Nearly a month into the season, the LA Dodgers are still the only team with a winning record in the National League West. However, if the San Diego Padres can pull off an upset this weekend at Dodger Stadium, they will be on par with their noted rivals in the I-5 division.

You can watch Padres vs. Dodgers live stream easily in the US on Sling TV or from anywhere in the world with a VPN.

These foes have already met this season, splitting a two-game series just after the start of the campaign in Seoul. The game, which marked the MLB debut of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, was a tough one for the three-time NPB Pacific League MVP, who gave up five runs.

But with fellow countryman Shohei Ohtani constantly in the headlines, Yamamoto quietly shows why everyone wanted his signature in the offseason. He has not allowed a run in his last 10 innings, striking out 13 females in the process.

It was also the first MLB start for young Jackson Merrill. Furthermore, his form on the road has been slightly better than his form at home in the opening weeks of the season, and given the strength of schedule, things may be looking up.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Padres vs. Dodgers live stream anywhere in the world, no matter where you are.
