The Dodgers and Padres will kick off their first series of the year on Friday night in San Diego. With the budding rivalry that these two NL West teams have experienced over the last few seasons, this series is sure to have a whole lot of fire in it. (though fans in LA would not call it a rivalry)
The pitching matchups in particular should be something to watch. The Dodgers did not come into this season with one of the top rotations in baseball, much different from previous seasons. But the staff has really come together early on, pricing experts wrong.
