“It’s obvious: The Giants are a better club than the Dodgers or us,” Bochy said when asked about the disparity. “The Giants are the best team in the division. The Giants have more power than the Dodgers or us. The Dodgers and us are more similar teams. The Giants have a little more firepower.”

Of course, it’s true. But the truth hurts, doesn’t it?
