The New York Mets will head on the road for Game 1 of the NLCS against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Dodger Stadium in California on Sunday. The Mets have done the improbable!

They went on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 in a best-of-three series in the Wild Card round. They won the first game 8-4, lost the second game 5-3, and late-game heroics from Pete Alonso won the last game 4-2. They made their way to the divisional round to take on the Philadelphia Phillies, who owned the second-best record in the National League. They won the first game 6-2 of that series before losing the second and leaving Philadelphia 1-1. Headed to New York, an Alonso and Jesse Winker home run propelled them to a 7-2 win. They closed out the series in Game 4 with a 4-1 win on a Francisco Lindor grand slam to win 4-1 after being down 1-0.

The Dodgers came into the National League side of the playoffs after a 98-win season, the best in Major League Baseball. However, the NLDS proved nothing easy for the league-leading team as it took all five games to defeat the San Deigo Padres. They won the first game 7-5 following it with an eight-run loss at home.
They lost the first game in San Deigo before bouncing back and winning in two shutout games 8-0 and 2-0 in the final games of the series. Mookie Betts, Will Smith, and Gavin Lux all homered in Game 4, while Teoscar Hernández and Enrique Hernández played the hero in Game 5 with two solo shots to send LA to the NLCS.
