The Los Angeles Dodgers aren’t in full-blown scoreboard-watching mode just yet, but the San Francisco Giants’ three-game skid to end the month of August was certainly something to look up and smile about.
With a 5.5-game lead now for first-place in the NL West, the Dodgers are beginning to see their postseason fate become a bit more clear. They even have the ability to directly add to that deficit over their nemesis when the two clubs collide in the very beginning of the month, with LA hosting San Francisco at Chavez Ravine.
On a 7-3 run in their last 10 games, the Dodgers appear to be entering a nice groove. With information from SeatSmart.com, below are the most and least expensive Dodgers tickets on the secondary market for the final month of the regular season.
Most Expensive: 9/7/2015 | Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim vs. Los Angeles Dodgers | Angel Stadium | Average Price: $110.76 | Get-in Price: $25
9/8/2015 | Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim vs. Los Angeles Dodgers | Angel Stadium | Average Price: $98.30 | Get-in Price: $20
9/9/2015 | Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim vs. Los Angeles Dodgers | Angel Stadium | Average Price: $104.57| Get-in Price: $22
A lot of California action creates the makeup of this list, as the six most expensive Dodgers games in September come against the Angels and Giants. The most expensive of the bunch is on September 7 against the Angels at Anaheim Stadium in a rare Interleague matchup. That game carries an average ticket price of $110.76 and a get-in price of $25.
9/28—30/2015 | San Francisco Giants vs. Los Angeles Dodgers | AT&T Park | Average Price: $92.66 (Three Games)
The three games against the Giants have an average of $92.66, with the game on September 30 being the most expensive with an average ticket price of $93.94 and a get-in price of $23. It’s no surprise to see this rivalry be so prevalent on the list, as not only is this one of the biggest rivalries in the sport, but these games should also come with playoff implications. AT&T Park parking can be found through ParkWhiz.com starting at $11 for all three games to make attending the stadium as easy as possible.
Least Expensive: 9/14/2015 | Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies | Dodger Stadium | Average Price: $29 | Get-in Price: $3
9/15/2015 | Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Colorado Rockies | Dodger Stadium | Average Price: $28 | Get-in Price: $3
The least expensive games in the month are against the downtrodden Rockies, but that shouldn’t diminish their importance in a pennant race. With every game carrying implications on the Dodgers’ grasp for first-place, meaningful baseball action between two division opponents can be seen for as low as $3. Dodger Stadium parking starts at $5.01 for these two games, making it the ultimate value play for September baseball.
