"The Los Angeles Dodgers won another National League West title and are in the playoffs for a 13th consecutive season, but they did not clinch a first-round bye and now host the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card Series. It's just the third time in franchise history that the Dodgers are involved in a Wild Card scenario, and the first since 2021 when they defeated the St. Louis Cardinals in the now-defunct single-elimination format."
"They punched their ticket to October baseball as the third NL Wild Card team after the New York Mets squandered a big lead in the standings and fell to the Miami Marlins on the final day of the regular season. The Dodgers and Reds are meeting in the postseason for just the second time, and first since the 1995 NL Division Series. Cincinnati swept L.A. in three games that year."
Los Angeles Dodgers captured the National League West title and enter the playoffs for a 13th consecutive season without a first-round bye, setting up a Wild Card Series at Dodger Stadium against the Cincinnati Reds. The Dodgers are in a Wild Card scenario for the third time in franchise history and the first since 2021. Cincinnati reached the postseason for the first time since 2020 with 83 regular-season wins under first-year manager Terry Francona, clinching the third NL Wild Card spot after the New York Mets lost to the Miami Marlins. The matchup marks the second postseason meeting between the clubs, their last coming in the 1995 NL Division Series.
