In this episode of Giants vs. Dodgers — the BSPN short series podcast — Garrett Gonzales (Giants) and his friend Brandon Draven (Dodgers) each rep their team and go head to head on the state of the rivalry.
First up is the end of the Dodgers' bid for a three-peat. The Brewers swept Los Angeles in the NLCS, the first NLCS sweep in Dodgers franchise history, and Garrett and Brandon break down how it ended. They also dig into where the Dodgers stand with Shohei Ohtani after an injury-derailed 2026 — he went 5-for-26 in the postseason and the team expects him to be fully healthy for the start of 2027 — and what it means that the Dodgers are running out an older roster.
On the Giants side, Garrett and Brandon talk through a historically bad season — 97 losses, the fourth-most in franchise history — and what Buster Posey and the Giants can do to compete again.
They also turn to the World Series between the Brewers and Rays and what it's like watching the Fall Classic with no dog in the race. To wrap it up, they talk about the impending MLB lockout, with the labor deal expiring Dec. 1 and a salary cap at the center of the dispute.
