Before the beginning of Sunday’s games, the Dodgers still had the best record in the majors at 32-14. They sat in front of NL West rival San Diego by a full three games, and their inclusion in the 2020 postseason playoff picture is imminent. However, there’s been a ton of discussions about potential home field advantage and what it might mean in the postseason.
Some folks believe there is no advantage, while others feel the opposite. There will be no byes for the top-seeded teams under the modified format. This year’s playoffs will open with Wild Card Series, which include all 16 playoff teams.
