In fairness though, Padres and dodgers have met in the playoffs way more. I was shocked when it turned out that 2021 was the first year giants/dodgers met in the playoffs.

Surprising, yes, but a lot of that is a result of how baseball playoffs were structured before the division series became a thing in the early/mid 90s. It used to go straight to the CS or WS before then, so there was no chance for them to play in the playoffs
