Home Field Advantage, Anyone? Dodgers 4, Marlins 0
The good thing about tonight's win was that the Dodgers would have home field advantage in the playoffs if the season were to end tonight; Los Angeles has the second-best record in the NL at 64-56, and with the stumbling Cards only two and a half games ahead of Cincinnati, who knows how that plays out. Of course, choose your favorite bromide about what this means for the playoffs with a month and a half left to go.
The AP reminds us that the Dodgers 18-1 streak is the team's best in 107 years; given that the work was brought off by three veterans, there's a certain appropriateness to the game, as Lofton, Drew, and Kent all drove in a run each, along with Andre Ethier. It's a bipolar team, all up or all down; but as bad as they were three weeks ago and as good as they are now, both are illusions. The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle.
