My friends, the Wild Card is over, and Major League Baseball is on to the Division Series. I don’t want anyone to think the Padres-Dodgers matchup is giving me anxiety more than 24 hours before Game 1 or anything 🫠. Fun Fact: three of the four series feature division rivals. This is going to be fun.
