NLCS schedule: Where to watch Dodgers vs Mets Game 6

The Los Angeles Dodgers couldn't finish the job against the Mets on Friday, losing 12-6 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. Now, the Boys in Blue are on their way home to try and punch their ticket to the World Series in front of the Dodger Stadium crowd. 

With a chance to clinch the NL Pennant Friday night in New York, Jack Flaherty gave up eight runs on eight hits, while walking four. The Dodgers tried to mount a comeback, with two home runs from rookie Andy Pages, but it wasn't enough.

HOW THEY GOT HERE

The Dodgers punched a ticket to the NLCS after beating NL West rivals Padres in the division series. Los Angeles secured the first-round bye and a spot in the NLDS after finishing the 2024 regular season with a 98-64 record.

Should the Dodgers take care of business in the championship series, the Boys in Blue are guaranteed home-field advantage for the World Series.

Similar to the Boys in Blue, New York Mets also took down a division rival in the Philadelphia Phillies en route to the NLCS. Before that, they beat the Milwaukee Brewers in the wild-card round and even before that, the Mets needed to split a double-header against the Atlanta Braves just to secure a spot in the wild card rounds.
