Mets vs. Dodgers Game 1 score, live updates: NLCS kicks off in Los Angeles with Shohei Ohtani looking for his first World Series trip

by admin

The National League Championship Series is here and it’s a big-market, coast-to-coast matchup between the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Mets grabbed one of the last NL wild-card spots on the final day of the regular season before beating the Brewers and Phillies so far this postseason, while the Dodgers have been among the top teams in the NL, and all of baseball, all season long.

The Dodgers won four of the six games the teams played this season, and Shohei Ohtani was a major factor for Los Angeles. Playing in five of those games, the National League MVP favorite slashed .316/.458/.684 in 24 plate appearances with two home runs, six RBI and five walks.

Sunday night, Jack Flaherty (0-1, 5.1 IP, 6.75 ERA in 2024 postseason) starts for the Dodgers against Kodai Senga (0-0, 2.0 IP, 4.50 ERA) for the Mets, with first pitch set for 8:15 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium, and you can watch the game on Fox.
