In a season overflowing with accolades for the Dodgers, the team may have gotten their most important achievement. With the Astros loss on Friday, the Dodgers officially clinched home field advantage throughout the entire playoffs, including the World Series.
A team that has clicked all season long led by their All-Stars Mookie Betts, Trea Turner and Freddie Freeman and doing a lot of the heavy lifting without their complete pitching unit is something many teams should fear. The Dodgers slowly are getting stronger as the weeks come, and with the first round bye, the Dodgers have even more time to prepare.
