The Dodgers clinched a postseason berth on Sunday, beating the Padres, 11-2, to guarantee at least a tie with the Brewers, who are currently the first team on the outside of the Wild Card chase looking in and whom the Dodgers beat in the season series, 4-3.
The Dodgers didn’t do much to celebrate what has been a foregone conclusion for months, and now it looks like maybe that’s a good thing, because it appears that, mathematically speaking, they might not have actually clinched.
You see, the Brewers are still in the hunt for the NL Central title.
