There's a way for the Dodgers to get home field advantage when it matters most, even if they make the playoffs as a wild-card team.
by one game in the National League West. The division title is up for grabs, and with it home-field advantage throughout the postseason.
The Giants and Dodgers boast the best records in Major League Baseball, but the team that finishes second in the NL West. If that team is the Dodgers, the NL wild-card game — the first game of the NL playoffs — would take place at Dodger Stadium on Oct. 6. That would be the only time in the NL playoffs the Dodgers would have home-field advantage. If the Dodgers won, they would advance to the division series, where a wild-card team is not permitted to have home-field advantage. No matter: The Giants would have a better record.
If the Dodgers won the division series, they would advance to the league championship series, where a wild-card team is not permitted to have home-field advantage. The Dodgers almost certainly would have a better record than the Milwaukee Brewers or whatever team emerges from the mediocrity that is the NL East, but no matter: no home field for a wild card.
