Padres: This marks San Diego's third playoff appearance in the last five years. They reached the NLCS in 2022 and were swept by the Dodgers in the NLDS back in 2020. The Padres took the season series from the Dodgers, going 8-5 and outscoring Los Angeles by six runs across those 14 games.

With 24 hours left before the Los Angeles Dodgers start their postseason run against the San Diego Padres, the All-Star first baseman said he feels “good enough” to play in Saturday’s Game 1 despite being just a week removed from severely spraining his right ankle.
