2024 NLCS Game 1 Thread

Jack Flaherty vs. Kodai Senga, 5p.

Fresh off a thrilling NLDS Game 5 victory Friday night, the Dodgers took a day off after celebrating the victory and now face the upstart Mets at the Stadium. It appears the Dodgers will be without the services of fiery reliever Alex Vesia, whose intercostal muscle will prevent him from facing this intercoastal opponent.

The Mets come into this series with rest and a whole ton of momentum, backed by the big bat of 2024 NL MVP candidate Francisco Lindor. No way am I sleeping on the Mets. This series should be a doozy.

LET'S GO, DODGERS!
