Races within races, not something typically discussed when it manifests on one team.
The Dodgers appear in firm control of the National League West, looking a little more so after their 4-3 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday at Chase Field.
It maintained their 7½ -game division lead over the Giants and reduced their magic number to 13 for clinching the West, with 20 regular-season games remaining. They continue to lead the Mets in the race for home-field advantage in the postseason by half a game.
But there are also other, individual, races taking final shape in September.
