Now they face Los Angeles in the most consequential series of their season.
In one of three intradivisional LDS matchups, the Padres are coming off a three-game series win over the Mets to take on the best team in the National League, the 111-win Dodgers, against whom they posted a 5-14 record and never won back-to-back games during the regular season.
