Dodgers getting a lot closer to wrapping up top seed in the NL. Rather than change the title of the "catch the Dodgers" thread, I figure maybe a separate tracking thread might stay relevant for a week or so. So . . .
Yesterday, Dodgers win 4-2 over SF and wrap up NL West. Cubs (5-4 over MIL) and Cards (4-3 over PIT) win, put Brewers in a deeper hole. Houston wins, 3-0 over LAA, while Cleveland loses to SEA 3-1, to get to .5 games back for top AL seed. Boston picks up a game on NYY.
