Some Gen-Z producer probably thought that one up.  It isn't much of a rivalry, no matter what the definition.  Since 2013, the Dodgers are 97-49 against the Padres (including playoffs), which is the most lopsided record of any intra-division matchup in MLB.  Some rivalry.

And the Padres have been in existence since 1989.  The Giants and Dodgers have played each other 2,504 times since they were both founded in 1883 as the Brooklyn Atlantics and the New York Gothams (the Giants were always in the NL, Brooklyn joined the NL in 1890).  The Giants hold a slight lead over the Dodgers, 1,262 to 1,242. Now that's a rivalry.

1989?  Maybe 1969 (think it was an early memory when Pads first playing in the Bigs).

Yup, I meant to type 1969.
