The Dodgers lost two out of three games against the National League East-leading Phillies this week, which all but ended the Los Angeles hopes for a bye into the NLDS.

The three seed is by far the most likely path for Los Angeles.

The Dodgers own the tiebreaker over the Padres, with a magic number of eight to win the division.

The Brewers clinched their postseason berth on September 13, and the Phillies won the NL East on Monday at Dodger Stadium. The battle now is at the top of the National League, for the No. 1 seed. The Cubs also clinched a playoff spot on Wednesday. • Brewers 93-59 (.612) • Phillies 91-62 (.595) • Dodgers 85-67 (.559) • Cubs 88-64 (.579) • Padres 83-69 (.546) • Mets 78-74 (.513) • Diamondbacks 77-76
