Well, here we are: the Dodgers (102-57) have arrived at the final weekend of the 2017 regular season. They have a two-game lead over Cleveland for the best record in baseball, which equals a magic number of one to guarantee home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
In a week, the Dodgers will be playing their first game of the National League Division Series at home against whoever wins the N.L. Wild Card game. That could very well be tonight’s opponent, the Rockies (86-73). However, Colorado still hasn’t actually clinched a wild card berth just yet.
