Game Preview
The San Diego Padres conquered one of the National League titans in the Wild Card Round. The Padres’ 2-1 series win over the New York Mets set up a NLDS clash with the Los Angeles Dodgers. San Diego bolstered its roster at the trade deadline to compete with the likes of the Dodgers and Mets. Josh Hader closed out Game 3 against the Mets and Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with two RBI in Sunday’s series-clinching victory.
Los Angeles geared up for its potential return to the World Series by adding Freddie Freeman to the heart of the order in free agency. The Dodgers come into the NLDS with the rest advantage and the option to choose whichever pitchers start throughout the series.
Los Angeles comes into the NLDS with the ability to choose between a fresh Clayton Kershaw and a fully rested Julio Urias for Game 1 against the Padres. No one knows exactly if the top seeds in both leagues will benefit from the week off, but you have to think the Dodgers have an edge to start the NLDS because of the Padres’ travel and starting-pitching usage against the New York Mets. Los Angeles needs its starters to produce an early lead at home so that San Diego can’t grab hold of any momentum before Darvish, Snell and Musgrove take the hill.
The entire San Diego lineup needs to make up for its early disadvantage in pitching, and if it does that, Soto’s numbers could be some of the best in the divisional series round. Soto is more than capable of carrying the Padres throughout the series, and if he does that, the Padres may be an unstoppable force in the NL playoffs.
Despite not having played in almost a full week, the Dodgers enter this series with their NL West foe as the overwhelming favorites to move on to the NLCS round and one step closer to their World Series dreams. On the mound to begin this best-of-five series will be the southpaw in Julio Urias.
