The Los Angeles Dodgers begin a pivotal three-game series against the San Diego Padres Friday night. The defending champions will be battling the Padres for first place in the division as San Diego currently leads the NL West by one game.
Dodgers catcher Will Smith revealed the Dodgers are looking to sweep their bitter rivals, who have won their last five games.
“It should be a fun three games, Dodger Stadium should be packed,” Smith said. “I always love playing there when it’s crazy. They’re big games, we have a month and a half left so it’s kind of getting down to the wire.
