After the Los Angeles Dodgers easily took care of the Cincinnati Reds in the NL Wild Card round, the highly anticipated Phillies-Dodgers series is officially set. The two teams will play a best-of-five series to decide who will move on to the NLCS.
The Phillies had success against the Dodgers in the regular season, going 4-2 across six regular season games. More recently, the Phillies took two of three from Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium in mid-September, a series that should give the squad plenty of confidence heading into the playoff matchup.
Offensively, the reigning champs are led by three-time MVP winner Shohei Ohtani.
