Freddie Freeman did not pull any punches when he previewed the Los Angeles Dodgers' National League Division Series with the San Diego Padres.
Reporters asked Freeman Monday to share his thoughts about taking on an NL West team in the Padres in the playoffs.
"They’re hot, and we’ve been hot for seven months," Freeman said, per The Athletic.
Freeman is not known for providing bulletin board material. But, in this case, he was not shy about sharing his confidence level heading into the five-game series against San Diego.

The 89-win San Diego Padres are coming off an impressive wild-card series when they took two out of three against the 101-win New York Mets. The team made headlines earlier in the season when it added Juan Soto, Josh Bell and Brandon Drury before the MLB trade deadline.
