With only a couple weeks left in the season, the playoff push is coming down to the stretch. The Dodgers are in a great position with a 30-12 record and dibs on the top National League seed, despite dropping their first series this past weekend against the Colorado Rockies with former Dodger Matt Kemp hitting a game-winning homer.
The Dodgers lead the second-place Padres by 4.5 games and are six games ahead of the Braves. There is a mix of teams for that eighth seed—that team would face Los Angeles in the first round barring the Dodgers hold on to the first seed.
