Impact The Padres will roll with Dylan Cease and Yu Darvish for Games 1 and 2 of the NLDS before likely turning to King for Game 3. King started in Game 1 of the wild-card series against Atlanta on Tuesday, which he was credited for the win after pitching seven scoreless innings while allowing five hits and striking out 12 batters. The Padres' rotation suffered a setback with Joe Musgrove being ruled out for the NLDS due to a right elbow injury he sustained in Wednesday's start against Atlanta.

Getting nod in Game 1 King will start Game 1 of the wild-card series against Atlanta on Tuesday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact The Padres will ride the hot hand and deploy King in their first postseason action, as he posted a 2.11 ERA and 1.25 WHIP with 40 strikeouts in his last seven starts of the regular season (38.1 innings). Joe Musgrove will get the call in Game 2 and Dylan Cease would draw the start in Game 3 if necessary.

Picks up 13th win King (13-9) got the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing one run (zero earned) on three hits and two walks while striking out three over five innings.
Impact The Dodgers made King work hard to get through five innings and he was done after needing 95 pitches. The lone run against him came off an error in the first inning. King then got out of a bases loaded jam in the second and then went nine up and nine down over the next three innings. King is on a miraculous run of allowing three runs or less in his last 14 starts and now sits at a 2.95 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 201:63 K:BB in 173.2 innings. He's tentatively lined up to make a start this weekend against the Diamondbacks but it's also possible the Padres skip him in order to save him up for the postseason.

Seven strong innings against Astros King did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Astros, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven in seven innings.
Impact The Astros got to King with four hits and a pair of runs in the fourth but were otherwise held in check. King reached seven innings for the first time since July 21 and has allowed two runs or fewer in each of his last seven starts. For the year, King owns a 3.04 ERA, which is tied for seventh best among all pitchers and fourth best in the National League. He'll look to continue rolling in a crucial matchup against the Dodgers next week.

Profar leads Padres against the Astros after 4-hit performance

Hit with tough loss King (12-9) took the loss against Seattle on Wednesday, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks over five innings while striking out six.
Impact King cruised through the first two innings before walking Miguel Rojas with one out in the third and then hitting Victor Robles with a pitch to put two runners on. The right-hander would then go on to surrender two RBI singles in the frame, leading to three runs coming across for Seattle - though only one of those runs would count against King on account of a fielding error by Jake Cronenworth. King still managed to make it through five innings for the 12th time in his last 13 outings while generating 13 whiffs on the night and now carries a 1.64 ERA through two starts in September. He's also recorded at least six strikeouts in nine of his last 10 starts.

Impact King rebounded from losing his last two starts to turning in a quality start. A Michael Conforto solo shot in the sixth inning was the lone run on his line. This was the 13th time in 28 outings (27 starts) where King was able to limit an opponent to one run or fewer. He's now at a 3.10 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 185:58 K:BB through 156.2 innings. King is expected to draw a rematch with the Giants next week in San Francisco.
