On today's Locked On Giants podcast, host Ben Kaspick discusses the San Francisco Giants' upcoming heavyweight matchup with the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Division Series. These two storied franchises have never met in the postseason—until now. The Dodgers won 106 games in the regular season, one fewer than the 107-win Giants. As a result, LA was subjected to the single-elimination Wild Card Game on Wednesday, which they won on a walk-off home run by Chris Taylor. Ben discusses the unfair national media coverage of the Giants, with many expects still unconvinced that the Giants can hang tough with LA.

New Locked On insider Gordon Beckham makes an appearance on today's show to discuss the Giants vs. Dodgers NLDS. He makes a prediction that Giants fans are bound to like. Ben discusses why Beckham's takes are fair, and that the Giants deserve huge amounts of credit for holding off LA.

Finally, Ben discusses how the Giants and Dodgers stack up statistically. They were unbelievably close from an offensive standpoint, with the Dodgers having a slight edge in on-base percentage and the Giants having a slight edge in power. The Dodgers' starters have an advantage of the Giants, but it's close. The bullpen edge goes to the Giants for being more complete, but LA is a close second. These two teams were neck-and-neck in most categories all season long, so it's only fitting that they're now meeting in the playoffs.
