The Dodgers were the only team in the Wild Card round to sweep their opponent, taking care of the Cincinnati Reds in two games, winning the first 10-5, and the second, 8-4.
The man who was responsible for their first run this postseason is also who they will give the ball to for Game 1 in Philadelphia: Shohei Ohtani. The do-everything MVP is making his postseason pitching debut after last season he made his postseason debut, and helped Los Angeles capture the World Series.
For the Phillies, this is their fourth straight postseason appearance after spending a decade away from October baseball. First baseman Bryce Harper, DH Kyle Schwarber, catcher J.T. Realmuto and shortstop Trea Turner are the bats to look out for in the Philadelphia lineup, while Christopher Sanchez will be the man on the mound for Game 1.
