Despite clinching the National League West title last Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers had an eye on the chaos that was the final day of Major League Baseball's regular season. Before the games started, the Dodgers knew when they would be playing this week, but who they would be playing was yet to be determined. It was either going to be the New York Mets or the Cincinnati Reds.
The Reds were in the driver's seat to be the No. 6 seed in the National League, as a win against the Milwaukee Brewers would have clinched their spot.
