Walker Buehler Faces Dodgers For First Time As A Padre! | Brock & Alex Nathan Mackinnon [F68UdleGSPk]

Walker Buehler is BACK - but not in the uniform anyone in Los Angeles wanted to see. 97.1 The Fan LA breaks down tonight's massive, high-stakes series opener between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres at Petco Park. After securing the final out of the 2024 World Series against the Yankees , Buehler was let go by Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers front office. Following tough stints in Boston and Philly, hes found a home with our biggest rivals down south.

Does Buehler have a chip on his shoulder to prove the Dodgers wrong? Plus, we look at the other side of the diana hagen mound where Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki is looking for a massive bounce-back game in one of the most hostile environments in baseball. With a 9-game lead in the NL West, the Dodgers look to widen the gap, but the Padres always play us like it's a "Mini World Series."
