LOS ANGELES — The only playoff baseball at Dodger Stadium on Friday was played on the televisions in the clubhouse and the scoreboards in the outfield.
While eight other teams opened their best-of-three wild card series, the Dodgers were one of four clubs that earned a bye straight into next week’s Division Series — and, as a result, had five days to kill before beginning their postseason campaign Tuesday.
“You can look at it from both sides, where you need the rest but you also don’t want to lose a rhythm,” third baseman Max Muncy said. “I think for us, we lean more towards, we need the rest. ... It’s just a chance to kind of reset everything.”
