Advantage Padres?

In the final 48 hours leading up to tomorrow night's opener of a key, three-game showdown between the Dodgers and the Pods at Petco, consider the difference between the two teams' schedules. The Padres played a regular Sunday getaway game at the Toilet Bowl yesterday, then jetted cross country from DC and, I'm guessing, got home around 9 p.m. because of the time change, slept in their own beds, had today off and will sleep in their own beds again tonight. The Dodgers? They played a Sunday game in Pittsburgh yesterday, but it wasn't a getaway game. They play the Pirates again tonight at 7:05 Eastern time, after which they probably will get airborne around midnight Eastern. Assuming it's a five-hour flight to San Diego, and factoring in the time change, the Dodgers should touch down around 2 a.m. and get to their hotel around 3 Pacific time. Then, tomorrow night, they will begin their biggest series of the season to date. Just a thought.
