The National League Championship Series continues Thursday as the New York Mets host the Los Angeles Dodgers at Citi Field in Queens, N.Y.

The Dodgers trailed their Division Series against the San Diego Padres, but came back with two straight shutouts to advance, and then won Game 1 9-0. Between some strong pitching and timely hits from Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, and Teoscar Hernandez, Los Angeles will be looking to regain home-field advantage in the series after dropping Game 2 at Dodger Stadium.

The Mets, meanwhile, broke the Dodgers’ three-game shutout run thanks to a Francisco Lindor lead-off home run, helping them claim a 7-3 victory in Game 2. New York was the last team into the playoffs, only securing their spot thanks to a better head-to-head record against the Arizona Diamondbacks, but they’re making it count. The Mets ousted the Brewers in three games to advance past the Wild Card round, then bounced the Philadelphia Phillies to claim a place in the NLCS.
