The San Diego Padres always will have last October and their victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series.
On Sunday, the Dodgers will go for a sweep of the Padres in the finale of a three-game series in Los Angeles. The Dodgers are 4-1 against the Padres this season and 27-6 against their Southern California neighbors -- tough to call it a rivalry given the Dodgers' domination -- in their past 33 regular-season meetings.
"When you look back at our meetings with the Padres, we've always gotten outstanding pitching ... from the starters, through the middle relievers to the back of the bullpen," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said recently. But he is 4-0 lifetime against the Padres with a 1.45 ERA over six games with 32 strikeouts in 31 innings.Saturday's winner Julio Urias is now 7-1 lifetime against the Padres, and the Dodgers are 8-0 in his past eight starts versus San Diego. Clayton Kershaw is 23-10 lifetime against the Padres with a 2.12 ERA. Dustin May is only 2-4 against the Padres but has a 3.36 ERA. The Padres haven't faced Noah Syndergaard as a member of the Dodgers.
