These clubs have met twice before in the postseason: in 2020, when the Dodgers swept the Padres; and in 2022, when the Padres won three of four en route to an NLCS appearance.
Here's what you need to know about both sides.
Padres: This marks San Diego's third playoff appearance in the last five years. They reached the NLCS in 2022 and were swept by the Dodgers in the NLDS back in 2020. The Padres took the season series from the Dodgers, going 8-5 and outscoring Los Angeles by six runs across those 14 games.
Dodgers: The Dodgers earned the top seed in the National League after a 98-64 regular season. Los Angeles is seeking its first playoff series victory since 2022, having lost in each of the past two Divisional Series. The Dodgers are not expected to allow Shohei Ohtani to pitch this postseason as he continues to rehab from last fall's elbow surgery.
