Padres right-hander Mike Clevinger facing Dodgers left-hander Julio Urias in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium
’ 89-win season is tied for the fifth-best campaign in franchise history. No Dodgers team had ever won 111 games, six better than that storied franchise’s best.“We have to look at it that way,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. “They handed it to us pretty good this year, so we realize what we’re up against. I think it feels a little better now that we’re not looking at the standings and 18 games behind or 20 games behind, whatever it was.
But if the Dodgers were counting , they certainly know better than to overlook any opponent in the playoffs. “The win/loss in the season I think certainly has been skewed,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “I think that if you were a part and really follow each game, they could have gone either way, a lot of them. So it’s obviously a team that’s coming off a very big series, emotional series. A very talented team. We’re going to have our hands full. So there’s going to be no letdown on our part. The regular season has no bearing on the postseason. It’s the best of five.
