Phillies vs. Mets, 2024 NLDS schedule: Where to watch MLB playoff games, TV channel for postseason baseball

The New York Mets are on the verge of advancing to the NLCS for the first time since 2015. The Mets hold a 2-1 lead over the Philadelphia Phillies in their best-of-five NLDS matchup. The Phillies face elimination in Game 3 on Wednesday.

It is the first-ever postseason duel between the NL East rivals. The Mets emerged victorious after a wild eighth-inning comeback in which they scored five runs after being shut out by Zack Wheeler up to that point. In Game 2, the teams traded home runs before Nick Castellanos gave the Phillies a walk-off win and evened the series. Left-hander Sean Manaea was brilliant and the Mets got plenty of timely hits in their Game 3 home win.

Here’s what you need to know about every team in the NLDS:

Phillies: They finished the season with the second-best record in baseball at 95-67, their best regular season since 2011. The first half was a monster, however, as the Phillies were 33-33 after the All-Star break and were tied 10- 11 in the last 21 games. However, they have the personnel to flip the proverbial switch as they have four All-Star starting players, a strong offense and a strong bullpen.

Mets: The 2024 Mets just aren’t giving up. The club has had their backs against the wall for what seems like a week and every time they have found a way to win. Although the Mets finished six games behind the Phillies in the East, keep in mind that they had the best record in baseball in June. Since the beginning of the month, they have a 65-40 record in the regular season and a 2-1 record in the playoffs. At this point the offense has a swagger about them and they can never be counted out.
