The Los Angeles Dodgers are playing in National League Division Series for the 12th consecutive season, and while their schedule is locked in, their playoff opponent and game times are still to be determined.
The Dodgers punched their ticket for October baseball back on Sept. 19 and clinched the NL West exactly one week later by winning a series against the San Diego Padres for the first time this season.
Still left ahead for the Dodgers is determining their placement in the NL postseason bracket. They are guaranteed a top-two seed and entered Saturday with a magic number of one to clinch the best record in baseball.
With that still to be decided, there are a variety of playoff scenarios for the Dodgers in the NLDS. That includes the Padres being the only Wild Card team to secure their spot as the fourth seed in the NL.
All NL and American League Wild Card Series games will be played from Oct. 1-2, and if necessary on Oct. 3.
This year marks a third consecutive season in which the Dodgers earned a first-round bye and spot in the NLDS. Manager Dave Roberts plans to give the team Monday off and hold only a voluntary workout on Tuesday.
That will be followed by official NLDS workouts at Dodger Stadium for the next three days leading into Game 1. Last year the Dodgers invited fans to attend a simulated game prior to the NLDS, but the team has not yet announced if that will be repeated.
