Not sure if there is a solution but it seems a bit unfair. The only advantage is that the Dodgers have 3 home games and Padres have 2.
Dodgers did get an advantage in that they had a bye while Padres had to play 3 games and use pitchers while LA is well rested. Are you going to complain when the warm city teams have to play in World Series in New York(hopefully) and it's 40 degrees?
