The Los Angeles Dodgers clinched their 7th straight NL West title with a 7-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards. Corey Seager slammed 2 home runs while Walker Buehler struck out 11 over 7 innings. Unlike last year, the Dodgers didn't need 163 games.
But given the Dodgers have won back to back NL pennants anything less than a trip to their third straight World Series will be regarded as a disappointment. Still, if the Dodgers have to take on the Washington Nationals in the NLDS facing Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg & Patrick Corbin is a daunting task. But if the Dodgers win a third consecutive NL pennant they will be the first NL team to have done so since the St. Louis Cardinals from 1942-1944. That's no small accomplishment.
