MLB Playoffs: NLDS preview

Two sets of division rivals face off with a trip to the NLCS on the line.

The Wild Card series has come and gone and as far as the National League goes, we’ve been left with a pair of spicy divisional matchups that are very likely to deliver when it comes to intensity and drama. The San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers are getting quite used to seeing each other in the postseason, while the Philadelphia Phillies are seeing a completely different divisional rival in the NLDS for a change in the form of the New York Mets.
