MLB altered its playoff structure in 1969 and established the League Championship Series. The LCS is a showdown between the winners of the division series to determine which team will represent its respective league -- American League and National League -- in the World Series. Baseball expanded both the ALCS and NLCS in 1985, from a best-of-five to a best-of-seven series. In the 2024 NLCS, the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the New York Mets in a six-game series. On October 9, the Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies in the NLDS to punch their ticket to the 2025 NLCS.
