The National League Championship Series kicks off Tuesday night as the fifth-seeded Padres host the sixth-seeded Phillies at Petco Park in San Diego.
Both teams ousted 100-plus-win teams on their way to the series and, needless to say, both teams are hot entering the NLCS. The Phillies slugged their way to a 3-1 series win over the second-seeded Braves, while the Padres held the 111-win Dodgers’ bats in check to down the NL’s top seed in four games.
The Phillies have won both Games 1s this postseason, while the Padres bested the Mets in the wild-card round before losing Game 1 to the Dodgers.
