NL Division Series Preview: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres
The 2022 San Diego Padres are playing against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLDS. The Padres won 89 games and made the playoffs this season. Los A.L. beat San DIago in a 3-0 sweep in 2020. ZiPS projects the Dodgers to advance from 60% to 61%. The team with the best ERA is slightly more likely to start Clayton Kershaw in Game 1. Julio Urías is less likely than in previous years to be the Game 5 starter. It's possible the team will start both Kershaws on three days' rest. If so, it would be a change in strategy from the past.
