Sure, a dynasty is fun for the fans. But, for the other 98% of baseball fans, we are all considerably tired of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series. Nevertheless, the Dodgers have clinched a postseason berth (and rightfully so, when you owe over $1 billion in deferred contracts) and tickets are available now.
The Dodgers can clinch the NL West title as soon as Thursday, Sept. 17. their magic number is one with ten games remaining, and six of those games will be against the not-so-hot San Francisco Giants. The team has not only appeared in, but won back-to-back World Series and they've dominated the free agency market for several years. We aren't done seeing blue in the MLB postseason, so get your tickets while they last.

Los Angeles Dodgers playoff scenarios
As of publication, the Los Angeles Dodgers have officially clinched a playoff spot. While the team hasn't officially clinched the NL West division, it is inevitable. The Dodgers currently hold a nine-game lead over the San Diego Padres and their magic number is one. As one of the top seeds in the National League, the Dodgers are aiming to earn a bye straight to the NLDS, which means the team will have home-field advantage in the best-of-five series.
Tickets are available for potential wild card games, should the Dodgers land there. But, because of the probability, we're just going to skip right to the NLDS.

While their opponent is still to be determined, the Dodgers are likely just a day away from officially clinching the NL West title. Once they do, LA will only have a little more work to clinch a bye to the NLDS, but if they do, the team will host Games 1, 2 and a Game 5, if necessary.
