Los Angeles Dodgers Clinch 2024 NL West Title (Sports)
September 26, 2024
The Los Angeles Dodgers officially clinch their 11th National League West division title in the last 12 seasons with a 7-2 win over the San Diego Padres. The Dodgers had some worries towards the end of the summer with the Arizona Diamondbacks and San Diego Padres hitting a hot streak that cut the Dodgers lead down to 3 games despite having a nine game lead in June and a 7-game lead towards the end of July. The Padres were able to cut the Dodgers lead down to two games on Monday, but the Dodgers responded with back to back wins to clinch the division.
The Dodgers will have a bye in the 2024 MLB postseason, and will have home field advantage in the NLDS. Game 1 and 2 of the NLDS will start on October 5th and 6th at Dodger Stadium.
