The 2024 National League Division Series (NLDS) will be the two best-of-five playoff series in Major League Baseball (MLB) to determine the participating teams of the 2024 National League Championship Series (NLCS). These matchups are:
- (1) Los Angeles Dodgers (NL West champions) vs. (4/5) TBD (Wild Card Series winner)
- (2) Philadelphia Phillies (NL East champions) vs. (3/6) TBD (Wild Card Series winner)
The team with the better regular season record (higher seed) of each series hosted Games 1, 2, and (if necessary) 5, while the lower seeded team hosted Game 3 and (if necessary) 4.[1][2]
Background
[edit]The top two division winners (first two seeds) are determined by regular season winning percentages. The final two teams are the winners of the National League Wild Card Series, played between the league's third to sixth-seeded teams.
The Los Angeles Dodgers (98–64) clinched their 12th consecutive postseason berth on September 19, won the National League West and first-round bye on September 26, and clinched the best record in both NL and MLB after a Philadelphia Phillies loss to the Washington Nationals on September 28, giving them home-field advantage through the World Series.[3][4][5] With their 12th consecutive postseason appearance, the Dodgers currently hold the longest active playoff streak in major North American professional sports.
The Philadelphia Phillies (95–67) clinched a postseason berth on September 20, won the National League East on September 23, and clinched a first-round bye on September 25[6][7][8][9] The Phillies are making their third straight postseason and it represented their first appearance as NL East champions since 2011.
