    Dodgers: Winning the Money Game

    The Dodgers kick off a two-game series against the Oakland A’s up in the Bay Area tomorrow.

Not that it mattered: the Dodgers were bounced by the Cardinals in the postseason.

    The Dodgers kick off a two-game series against the Oakland A’s up in the Bay Area tomorrow. And entering into this series, the Dodgers are leading the National League Western Division…which they also lead last year.
