Although the Giants recorded the most wins in their history, they faced pressure from the Dodgers throughout the season. Prior to yesterday’s clash, the defending World Series champions were just a game behind the Giants.
The Dodgers did their bit and won their final game against the Milwaukee Brewers, with the scoreline reading 10-3. Had the Giants lost, they would have had to play a tiebreaker game against the Dodgers to decide the winner of the National League West. However, the Giants secured this title for the first time since 2012 with their victory over the Padres.
The last time they won the NL West, they went on to win the World Series. Given the form they are in at the moment, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them emulate those heroics nine years later.
