As late L.A. sports figure Al Davis used to say: “Just win, baby.”
Whether the Giants are right on their tail or dust in the review mirror, the Dodgers need to remain focused on winning each game.
Sure, their 7 1/2-game lead appears comfortable, yet even if it is, there remains a tangible reason to finish with the best record possible. Their likely first-round opponent is the Mets. And the Dodgers should very much want to finish with a better record than the Mets to secure home-field advantage.
The Dodgers currently lead the Mets by a half-game, one game in the loss column.
