This Saturday marks the start of the highly anticipated National League Divisional Series between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. In response, the Dodgers have adjusted their rotation order.

 

Rookie Yoshinobu Yamamoto will take the mound to open the first game, while Jack Flaherty will pitch in the second game, scheduled for this Sunday. Both games will be held at Dodger Stadium.

 

This change was made because the Dodgers want to be prepared in case there is a fifth game, ensuring that Yoshinobu Yamamoto is available.

This will be the third time the Dodgers and Padres have faced each other in the Divisional Series in the last five years. In 2020, the Dodgers swept the series 3-0 on their way to winning the World Series, while in 2022, the Padres exacted revenge by winning 3-1.

 

In the current season, the Padres had a record of 8-5 against the Dodgers. In fact, they were in contention for the National League West Division title until the very end.

 

It is worth noting that, according to experts, the San Diego Padres are the favorites to win the series.
