Trade-deadline pickups provding more 'threats' after quiet starts
Asking members of the Los Angeles Dodgers what they think about the Padres, or vice versa, is a bit like asking cats to wax poetic about dogs. They might prefer to talk about something more pleasant like, say, property taxes.
Future Hall of Fame pitcher Clayton Kershaw said, to his thinking, there’s one key to facing the Padres. What that could mean in the playoffs, if the Padres lock down the first full-season trip since 2006, is the ultimate wait-and-see situation. A lineup uptick, coupled with a bullpen hitting its stride and strong starting pitching at the top of the rotation has started to reveal an interesting picture.“There are definitely some teams out there when you take a little bit of a deep breath when you get to the bottom of the order,” Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips said.
