After sweeping an overmatched Milwaukee Brewers team in the Wild Card round, the Los Angeles Dodgers figured to face a more formidable challenge in the San Diego Padres during the National League Division Series.
The best-of-five was played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, and by sweeping their first series and the Padres needing three games to eliminate the St. Louis Cardinals, the Dodgers spent a handful of days in the MLB postseason bubble before the NLDS began.
It afforded them an opportunity to hold multiple workouts at the Texas Rangers’ home ballpark. Prior to their first one, Justin Turner and Mookie Betts addressed the team.
