Baseball fans are in for a treat for this year's NLDS matchup between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers.
This NL West rivalry is arguably the best MLB playoff matchup of the round and might be the best one all October. Dodger Stadium and Petco Park crowds will be electric for this five-game series.
The Los Angeles Dodgers, the No. 1 seed in the National League and fresh off a bye, enter as -145 favorites to win the series. The Padres, coming off a 2-0 sweep of the Atlanta Braves, earned a 3-1 win over the Dodgers when these two teams met in the 2022 NLDS.
