"Unlike their last postseason meeting, the Phillies have the higher seed and home-field advantage over the Dodgers in the NLDS. They finished with the second-best record in the NL at 96-66 and clinched a first-round bye into NLDS. Game 1 of the 2025 NLDS takes place at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday, with first pitch dependent on the Wild Card matchup between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees."
"If the Yankees advance, Game 1 between the Dodgers and Phillies will begin at 3:38 p.m. PT. If the Red Sox win the series, first pitch at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday is 3:08 p.m. Regardless of how that ultimately unfolds, it will be followed by a rare off day before the Phillies host Game 2 on Monday. The break in the NLDS schedule could be beneficial for the Dodgers as they figure to lean on their starting rotation to compensate for an inconsistent bullpen."
The Los Angeles Dodgers swept the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card Series and advance to the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Phillies enter the NLDS with the higher seed, home-field advantage and a 96-66 regular-season record that secured a first-round bye. Game 1 is scheduled at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday with first-pitch time contingent on the Red Sox–Yankees outcome, followed by an off day before Game 2 on Monday. The series shifts to Dodger Stadium for Game 3 and a potential Game 4, with broadcasts on TBS/truTV and streaming via HBO Max.
