Where/When will the Dodgers clinch?

[Villain]

The magic number sits at 7. The Dodgers would need to sweep the Dbacks while the Giants got swept by the Padres to be able to clinch "at home" on Thursday, but they'd likely be on an airplane to Denver at the time. That SFG game is at 6pm while the Dodgers start their Thursday game at noon.

Here's how the schedule looks for the Dodgers:

4 games Monday-Thursday vs Dbacks here in LA.
3 games this weekend in Colorado
4 games next Monday-Thursday in San Francisco
3 games next weekend vs San Diego to close out the season at home.

For the Giants:

3 games Tuesday-Thursday in San Diego
3 games this weekend in Oakland
The aforementioned 4-game set against the Dodgers
3 games next weekend at home vs Colorado.

The Giants will do their part to help you clinch as soon as possible. They may not score another run this month.

I'll say this weekend in Colorado. It's a bit risky but I would like to clinch in SanFran but I think we'll have it wrapped this week.

San Francisco would be more fun, but I'm not a big fan of wasting time. The sooner they clinch, the better.

Probably San Diego. Dodgers fading late for an improbable playoff dud.... Again.

That would blow so hard.

Dodgers don't seem to care all that much. They scratched Greinke and are making sure to give everyone plenty of rest. I'm not worried one bit.

5 games back or less heading into SF would be bad news. Why infuse the Giants with life?

Gotta be healthy for October, and I don't consider being 5 games back this late in the season as a situation that gives you life.

I know you're rooting for the Dodgers to lose but it seems like wishful thinking to think they'd blow this lead.

You're one of those fans that is only happy when the team is losing, aren't you? Seems like you rarely post when the Dodgers are doing well.

The Dodgers are in trouble when the playoffs come around Their bullpen is extremely inconsistent and the beyond Wood, the back end is suspect.
