Dodgers magic number down to 5 for the division. 15 games to go. That is actually a foregone conclusion. What I'm looking at is the number two seed. They're 3 games ahead of Atlanta for that. They still have a shot at top seed. A game and a half behind Milwaukee.
There is something to be said about playing for something all the way to the end of the regular season. Helps to keep the momentum. But in this case I do think a bye would really help them. Gives some of the older core guys a few days of rest.

He just hit his first major league homerun. A 3 run shot in the 4th. Hopefully the first of many for him.
Again, two run lead in the 9th is not enough. Not sure who can be the closer in the playoffs. Maybe closer by committee and cross your fingers? Don't think we can count on Diaz at this point. Definitely can't count on Scott. Or Stewart. Scott gave up the tying runs. Stewart gave up the walk off homerun. Although the loss goes to Scott since the go ahead run was Scott's. The homerun was just icing on the cake.
Now, now, don't get ahead of yourself. This year you can tie the NY Yankees in productivity IF you win the World Series. 14 postseasons, 6 World Series (4-2). Of course the Yankees did that in 13 postseasons (4-2). And in winning the World Series, the Dodgers will also tie the A's and join the NYY for consecutive World Series won (3). What you won't do is tie the Yankees for consecutive World Series games won (14) or consecutive World Series won (5).
And IF you win the 2026 World Series, you will join the Cardinals (11) and the Yankees (27) as the only teams to have double digit World Series wins. So next year may set a record for consecutive postseasons but this year is waaaay more important in the grand scheme of things.

LOL!!!! One other thing I forgot that is riding on this season. You guys have a chance to join the Cardinals and Yankees with double digit WS wins but if you make it there and lose, you will have the most World Series losses in history (15), breaking your current tie with the Yankees.
Hey, not trolling you, just reminding you to be in the present. Don't worry about next year. Worry about this year.
And btw, the Major League winningest franchise when it comes to World Series (games and titles) is the NY Yankees!!! That my friend is the Major Leagues.
121 World Series and the Yankees have played in more than a third of them, 41!!!! (27-14)What I do remember is the fellas celebrating in Yankee Stadium in 24 after an all time collapse by the Pinstripes!!!LOL!!!! One other thing I forgot that is riding on this season.

And Freddies dagger in G1.
And Judges Dropped pop up
And Cole not covering
And Buehler shoving
But I digress.....
Good luck this postseason, maybe you all can get to the series again and try to stop a 3-peat!!
Go Dodgers!!!!
Glad you see it for what it was......a collapse by the great NY Yankees instead of a dominating Dodgers team!!!!
Just remember, we got you started on this repeat, three peat, near peat that you're on. Good luck to you too. Hopefully we'll meet again for all the marbles.
Dodgers have a 3 and a half game lead over the Braves for the second spot. 4 in the loss column. Securing that bye will help them. They've played more baseball than anyone else the last couple years.
There were times it seemed they were getting worn down. A bye can help them reset re-energize themselves. Roberts can set his pitching lineup any way he wants. They gotta have the best rotation with Skubal, Snell, Yamamoto and Glasnow.
The only worry is the bullpen. They've blown leads in the 9th. Scott came in last night with a 4-0 lead. Then a walk and a single. Tying run is on deck. I was thinking "Don't tell me 4 runs isn't enough". But he struck out the next 3 batters. His fast ball was hitting 99 mph. That's a good sign.
