Big Papi out here wildin’! Media types have been quick to take one look at this Dodgers vs Padres NLDS matchup and point to the little brother complex down in San Diego. It’s well-documented how the Friars view the boys in blue.
They want to beat them down and humiliate them.
Try as they may, more often than not, the Dodgers have prevailed over the Padres. Handily, might I add. LA beat San Diego 14 times in 19 regular season matchups in 2022, but some of those games were closer than national media will give the Padres credit for.
