00:00i don't know is it important for the dodgers to win that division and not have to go through

00:05the wild card it seemed to me with the lack of pitching that they have at this point

00:10throwing otani and who would have thought otani and kershaw by the way would be like

00:13their most important pitching factors going into the postseason but here we are

00:17it is fun that otani and kershaw are one and two in their rotation right now and as we ready for

00:22that but um i i do kind of sort of think that it is important for them to win the division

00:27to be honest with you um i think that there's some pride in that right now now do i think that they

00:32are positioned to do so unfortunately not i think san diego is probably better positioned to run

00:37through the tape of this season uh but we just saw jason adam get hurt and hoping for the best for him

00:42out of that padre bullpen uh but it does seem like san diego is the more complete team right now

00:48the dodgers and the lakers have so many things in common and one of those is they could probably

00:54coast their way into a cushy wild card spot and then catch fire at the perfect time and run rampant

01:01through the wild card round of the ds and the cs and lo and behold the dodgers run the fall classic

01:05again it feels like they could line up starting pitching to do that but then you run into

01:10the risky nature of a wild card series it is the best of three so i do think that it is important to

01:16win a division right now i don't think that the dodgers are best equipped to do that compared to what san

01:21diego can do um but they do feel pretty let's get ready for the postseason right now
