The Dodgers rolled into the NLDS with a Wild Card sweep of the Reds and now take on the NL East champion Phillies.
L.A. won Game 2 in a decisive 8-4 win thanks to the bat of Mookie Betts and the arm of pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Betts tallied four hits and three RBIs while Yamamoto threw nine strikeouts and allowed only four hits in 6.2 innings.
Philadelphia won't be quite so easy an out, though. The No. 2 seed in the NL has a tremendous trio of hitters in Kyle Schwarber, Bryce Harper and Trea Turner as well as pitchers Jesus Luzardo, Cristopher Sanchez and closer Jhoan Duran.
The Phillies have gotten the best of the Dodgers recently, with two wins in their last three-game series in mid-September. Philadelphia holds an 11-7 head-to-head edge since 2023.
