The Los Angeles Dodgers have finished first in the NL West every season since 2013 except for one, which came in 2021.
The Dodgers finished a game behind the 107-55 San Francisco Giants, and met them in the NLDS that same season. The Giants took the series to five games, and ultimately lost to the Dodgers.
The Giants fielded starting pitcher Kevin Gausman in two of the five games during that series, and lost both contests. Gausman, now with the Toronto Blue Jays, wants to take down the Dodgers on the biggest stage.

“Yeah, for sure,” Gausman said when asked if he was glad to get another shot at the Dodgers.
