After battling all season in the NL West and being two of the best teams in the National League in 2024, it comes down to one game for the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series. Game 5 is set for Friday night at Dodger Stadium, and this series has had a bit of everything, from fans throwing garbage onto the field, to Dave Roberts accusing Manny Machado of throwing a ball at the Los Angeles dugout, to Fernando Tatis Jr. having an incredible series.
The Padres won eight of the 13 regular-season meetings between the teams in 2024, and will send Yu Darvish to the mound against Yoshinobu Yamamoto.
