For its part, Los Angeles Dodgers With 98 victories they became the cast that won the most challenges in the Big Top. Therefore, after securing first place in the Western Division and in the National League, they managed to advance to the playoffs without having to go through the difficult wild card phase.
In that instance, they “sat down” to wait for the winner of Atlanta and San Diego. The result caused a matchup with the team that put them on the ropes repeatedly during MLB 2024: San Diego Padres. The group led by Fernando Tatis Jr., Manny Machado y Luis Arraez defeated Los Angeles Dodgers on eight occasions out of a total of 13 meetings.
For its part, the Los Angeles organization won in only one of the series carried out. In their defense it is worth highlighting that they achieved it in the last one, after winning two of the agreed lawsuits. They even achieved it after falling in the first crash, after an electrifying triple play in the ninth inning starring Manny Machado.
Los Angeles Dodgers for revenge against San Diego Padres
Additionally, the postseason clash between Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres acquires a nuance of revenge. In 2022, the Padres players eliminated the Dodgers in the Division Series, the same instance in which they will face each other in 2024.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, although they have a pitching staff capable of keeping their rivals at bay, depend largely on what their offense can do on the field. The contribution of men like Shohei Ohtani, Freddie Freeman, Mookie Betts; even Teoscar Hernandez y Will Smith will be essential in the aspirations of entering into the discussion of the Championship Series.

The opposite happens with San Diego Padres, they have hitters capable of making a difference. Tatis Jr, Arráez or Machado are some of them. They can be joined by Jurickson Profar, Xander Bogaerts or the sensational rookie Jackson Merrill. However, their pitchers are their main strength during the established nine innings of play.
Although they will not be able to count on Joe Musgrove, Dylan Cease, Michael King, Yu Darvish, Rangel Suárez and even the Cuban Adrián Morejón will have the responsibility of stopping the impressive offensive order of the Angelenos.
Shohei Ohtani was the National League’s home run leader in MLB 2024
