The Dodgers will try to clinch their 12th National League West title in the past 13 seasons when they face the Arizona Diamondbacks Thursday afternoon in Phoenix.

The Dodgers lowered their magic number for assuring themselves of the title to one with a 5-4, 11-inning victory over the Diamondbacks and the San Diego Padres' 3-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers Wednesday.

The Dodgers (89-69) would win the division with a victory in any of their four remaining games or a loss by the Padres (87-72) in any of their three remaining games. San Diego is idle Thursday.

The 12:40 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time game will be televised by SportsNet LA and broadcast in English by KLAC-AM (570) and in Spanish by KTNQ- AM (1020).

Right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto (11-8) is set to pitch for the Dodgers. Arizona
