The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched a spot in the 2021 MLB postseason, though where in the bracket they will ultimately land remains unsettled. Their possibilities are either a ninth consecutive National League West title or spot in the Wild Card Game.
The Dodgers punched their ticket for October baseball one night after the San Francisco Giants did in what’s been a surprising season. The Giants celebrated their accomplishment on the field and clubhouse, which is more commonly seen after clinching a division or winning a postseason series.
“You know what, that hasn’t even crossed my mind yet,” answered Justin Turner when asked before Tuesday’s game if the Dodgers would follow the Giants’ lead upon qualifying for MLB postseason play.
