SAN DIEGO -- With their fourth consecutive NL West title clinched, the Dodgers have a decision to make -- spend this week resting and preparing for the first round of the playoffs or keep pushing in hopes of landing homefield advantage in that NL Division Series against the Washington Nationals.
Going into Tuesday's games, the Dodgers (90-66) were just one game behind the Nationals (91-65) and won the season series (5-1) so they only have to match the Nats' final record to game homefield in their best-of-five series.
