After a subpar start to the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers became one of the best teams in the National League on their way to winning the NL West and making their first appearance in the postseason since 2009. The Dodgers will be playing NL East champion Atlanta Braves in the National League Divisional Series. Los Angeles Dodgers tickets for home games against the Braves are selling for a $173 average, 223 percent over the $53.61 price of an average regular season home game.
The Dodgers will be without Matt Kemp for the postseason, but the emergence of Yasiel Puig during the regular season will help balance out that loss. Puig hit 19 home runs and 21 doubles with a .319 average in his 104 games played during his rookie season. The Dodgers also have star players in their pitching rotation with Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke possibly being the best 1-2 combination of any team in the playoffs. Kershaw had a sub-2 ERA and struck out 8.8 batters per nine innings, which should make him the favorite for the NL CY Young.
Prices for the Dodgers World Series tickets for what would be their first appearance in the Fall Classic since 1988 are averaging $1451 on the secondary market.
