The Los Angeles Dodgers currently sit at 79-32, and look to be a shoo in for the best record in the National League comes season’s end, meaning that we should have a good idea of when and where they will be starting their games come October.

The American League Wildcard game is on October 3rd and the National League Wildcard game is on October 4th.
The National League Division Series games will begin on Friday Oct. 6 on TBS. The Dodgers would presumably be playing at Dodger Stadium, if the hold onto the best record in the National League, on Friday the 6th and Saturday the 7th, before going to the Wildcard winner’s home stadium for games 3 and 4, if necessary. Game 5, if needed would come back to Dodger Stadium.
