First of all, the good news. The magic number for home-field advantage over the Rockies has been reduced by one to five, since they got shutout by the San Francisco Giants this afternoon. That drops them five back of the D-backs, and they could end the day in a tie with the Brewers, who are currently tied with the Pirates. The Dodgers are currently also trailing to the Phillies, which is very amusing: if they win, and the D-backs don’t beat the Padres, then the Dodgers will officially clinch.
