The 2024 National League Division Series (NLDS) will be the two best-of-five playoff series in Major League Baseball (MLB) to determine the participating teams of the 2024 National League Championship Series (NLCS). These matchups are:

The team with the better regular season record (higher seed) of each series will host Games 1, 2, and (if necessary) 5, while the lower seeded team will host Game 3 and (if necessary) 4.[1][2]

Background

The top two division winners (first two seeds) are determined by regular season winning percentages. The final two teams are the winners of the National League Wild Card Series, played between the league's third to sixth-seeded teams.

The Los Angeles Dodgers (98–64) clinched their 12th consecutive postseason berth on September 19, won the National League West and first-round bye on September 26, and clinched the best record in both NL and MLB on September 28, giving them home-field advantage through the World Series.[3][4][5] With their 12th consecutive postseason appearance, the Dodgers currently hold the longest active playoff streak in major North American professional sports. They will face the San Diego Padres (93–69), who qualified for the postseason as the fourth seed wild card entrant. They swept the fifth-seeded Atlanta Braves in the Wild Card Series for the Padres to return to the NLDS for the third time in the past five seasons. San Diego won the season series against Los Angeles, 8–5, and it was the first time the Padres won a season series against their rivals since 2010.[6] This is a continuation of the Dodgers-Padres rivalry and will be the third postseason meeting between the Dodgers and the Padres. Their previous playoff meetings were in the 2020 NLDS and the 2022 NLDS, which the Dodgers swept the former series and the Padres won the latter series in one of the biggest upsets in postseason history. This will be the fifth straight year for an all-National League West match-up in the NLDS.[A]

The Philadelphia Phillies (95–67) clinched a postseason berth on September 20, won the National League East on September 23, and clinched a first-round bye on September 25[7][8][9][10] The Phillies are making their third straight postseason and it represented their first appearance as NL East champions since 2011. They will face the New York Mets (89–73), who qualified for the postseason as the sixth seed wild card entrant due to their head-to-head record versus the Atlanta Braves, the team they finished tied with. New York, who was 11 games under .500 at one point in the season, are the third straight sixth seed to make it out of the Wild Card series round in the National League. They did this by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers in three games, thanks in part to a Pete Alonso three-run home run in the top of the ninth inning that gave the Mets the lead and eventual series-win. The Mets advanced to the NLDS for the first time since 2015, which is also the year they won the National League pennant. The Phillies won the season series over the Mets, 7–6.[11] The Phillies and Mets, rivals since the creation of the Mets franchise in 1962, have had mutual winning seasons only 10 times in 63 years of co-existence.[12] Additionally, this will be their first match-up in the postseason. This is the third straight year the NLDS featured an all-National League East match-up, with the Braves versus Phillies occurring in 2022 and 2023.
