Go Dodgers!

The Dodgers now have 10-0 record at home and have tied the National League record for most consecutive home victories to start the season:

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, this streak is the longest by any NL team since 1983, when Torre's Atlanta Braves won their first 10 games at Fulton County Stadium to tie the modern league record shared by the 1918 New York Giants and 1970 Chicago Cubs.

The Dodgers record now stands at 18-8, which is the best in the Majors and gives them a 4.5 lead over the Giants. This is the biggest lead among all of the division leaders, and the Dodgers +41 run differential (runs scored - runs allowed) is also the best in the Majors. Hell yes!
