The Los Angeles Dodgers are in the midst of one of their most successful stretches in franchise history, having won eight consecutive National League West titles, three pennants since 2017 and the 2020 World Series.
The club is slated to return the majority of their championship core next season as they look to become the first team since the 1998-00 New York Yankees to win the World Series in back-to-back years.
One team that could pose the greatest challenge to that is the San Diego Padres, who have been on the rise for a few seasons now.
