The Los Angeles Dodgers earned the division title after a 7-2 win over the San Diego Padres Thursday night. But one challenge remains. The Dodgers must win one more game than the Philadelphia Phillies to clinch the top seed in the National League. One win by the Dodgers or a loss by the Phillies would clinch home-field through the postseason.
Home-field advantage is everything in the postseason. Although the Dodgers have much to celebrate, there’s still one last job to be done before October.
There are two games left in the regular season. The Dodgers defeated the Colorado Rockies 11-4 Friday night but should go for the sweep Saturday and Sunday.
