With a 6-3 win last night (and a 6-9 Braves loss), the Dodgers clinched home field advantage throughout the entire National League Playoffs. The only real attainable achievement left is the potential to clinch Homefield Advantage in a potential World Series. However, with only five games remaining the Dodgers trail the Yankees (102-56) by half a game and the Astros (103-54) by two games. The Padres’ Dinelson Lamet will take the mound against Ross Stripling, as both likely make their final appearances of the season.
Matt Beaty will be making just his sixth start of the season at third base, as Justin Turner has the night off.
