For the first time in MLB history, the Philadelphia Phillies and New York Mets will meet in the postseason when they face off in this year's NLDS.
The National League East rivalry will compete in a best-of-five series for the right to advance to the NLCS.
The Phillies, the No. 2 seed and fresh off a bye, enter as -185 favorites to win the series. They have reached the NLCS in each of the last two postseasons.
New York is coming off a dramatic win in Game 3 of the NL Wild Card series, needing a ninth-inning home run from Pete Alonso to defeat the Milwaukee Brewers. The Mets won seven of the 13 matchups against the Phillies this season.
