82 Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers moved much closer to wrapping up the NL West Tuesday night with a 10-1 drubbing of the San Diego Padres. With 82 wins, the Dodgers are now guaranteed to finish over .500, preventing our seeing a sub-.500 playoff team. Coupled with the Arziona loss, the Dodgers magic number is down to three with five games to play.
Manny Ramirez hit a double and drove in two runs, giving him 30 extra-base hits and 51 RBI in 49 games with the Dodgers. That would put him on a pace for 99 extra-base hits over a 162 game season.
