It wasn't pretty, and it took six days longer than expected, but the Dodgers have finally clinched the West and home field advantage throughout the N.L. playoffs with a 5-0 trumping of the Rockies. Clayton Kershaw was "magnifico" through six shutout innings, striking out 10 in the process. The offense finally showed up with some clutch hitting in the seventh inning. And for the first time since 1977-1978, the Blue have repeated as West Champs.

So the first round is now set. The Dodgers will host the Cards starting Wednesday, and the Rockies will travel to Philly as the Wild Card for a five-game series, also starting Wednesday.
