Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani became the first player in baseball history to hit 50 home runs and have 50 stolen bases in a single season.

In another sign of fall, tickets are about to go on sale for Major League Baseball's high-stakes postseason.

Sales begin at 10 a.m. Wednesday for potential National League Division Series and National League Championship Series games at Dodger Stadium.

The Dodgers have already secured a 12th straight playoff appearance behind an historic season authored by two-time MVP Shohei Ohtani. As of Tuesday, the Dodgers were two games ahead of San Diego in the race for the NL West title, which would be the Dodgers' 11th in 12 years. Winning the NL West, which could happen as early as Wednesday, would give the Dodgers a bye in the Wild Card round.

This week's key series with the Padres started Tuesday with a 4-2 San Diego win at Dodger Stadium. The game ended on an around-the-horn triple-play by the Padres.

If the Dodgers are the higher seed, Games 1 and 2 of the National League Division Series would be Oct. 5 and 6 at Dodger Stadium. Game 5, if necessary, would be Oct. 11. If the season ended Monday, the Dodgers would play the winner of the Wild Card matchup between the Mets and Padres.

If the Dodgers are the lower seed in the NLDS, Dodger Stadium would host Game 3 and 4 on Oct. 8 and 9.

If the Dodgers advance to the National League Championship Series, that series would start Oct. 13 at the higher seed's stadium.

The Dodgers and Padres meet for a three-game series in Los Angeles, starting Tuesday. LA wraps up the regular season with three games against the Rockies in Colorado. After the Dodgers series, San Diego travels to Arizona for three games against the Diamondbacks.
