Background

Further information: National League Division Series
Further information: 2022 MLB Postseason

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

The Los Angeles Dodgers (111–51) clinched the National League West on September 14 and the first seed in the National League on September 25, thus earning them a bye from the National League Wild Card Series and homefield throughout the National League playoff.[1] The Dodgers are making their tenth straight postseason appearance, which is the third longest streak in MLB history.[2] They will play the San Diego Padres (89–73), who clinched a divison series berth by beating the New York Mets. The Padres are making their first division series appearance since 2020 and just their second since 2006. During the regular season, the Dodgers won 14–5 games versus the Padres.[3]

The Atlanta Braves (101–61) clinched the National League East on October 4, the second to last day of the season.[4] The Braves had trailed the New York Mets for virtually the whole season, but eventually overtook them on the last weekend of the season via a three game sweep of New York at Truist Park.[5] The Braves are making their fifth straight postseason appearance and are looking to become the first repeat champions since the 2000 New York Yankees. They will play the Philadelphia Phillies (87–75), who clinched a division series berth by beating the St. Louis Cardinals in two games in the Wild Card Series. The Phillies are making their first division series appearance since 2011. Atlanta went 11–8 during the season series against Philadelphia.[6]
