The Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 2-0 Friday night and now Dodgers are just a half-game behind first-place San Diego Padres in the NL West. The Dodgers’ triumph also reserved them a half-game in front of Philadelphia for the wild card. The Padres beat Pittsburgh 6-2, and Philadelphia defeated Florida 5-2. NL west has believed that Diamondbacks are out of the race now but despite being out of the NL West race, the Diamondbacks can influence the conclusions. Besides their three-game series in Los Angeles, they have four games lasting with San Diego and three against San Francisco may again bring them in the lead. Dodgers are quite happy as they are in the top league in NL West but be careful baseball is a game of uncertainties, so play safe.
