What's Happening?
The Philadelphia Phillies are attempting to extend their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 4 of the NLDS. The Phillies managed to avoid a sweep in Game 3 with an 8-1 victory, highlighted by Kyle Schwarber's two home runs. The Dodgers, however, have another chance to end the Phillies' season in Game 4. The game is scheduled to start at 6:08 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium, and will be broadcast on TBS, truTV, and HBO Max. The Phillies hope to force a Game 5, which would take place in Philadelphia.
Why It's Important?
The Phillies' ability to extend the series is crucial for their postseason survival. Winning Game 4 would shift the momentum and bring the series back to Philadelphia, giving them a chance to advance. For the Dodgers, clinching the series at home would solidify their position in the NLCS and maintain their championship pursuit. The game holds significant implications for both teams' postseason trajectories.
What's Next?
Should the Phillies win, the series will continue with Game 5 in Philadelphia. The Dodgers, if successful, will advance to the NLCS, awaiting the outcome of the Brewers-Cubs series. Both teams will need to adjust their strategies based on the outcome of Game 4.
