NLCS Game 4 Thread: Dodgers vs. Mets

The Yankees are in Cleveland and we have our sights set on the World Series. On the AL side, the Yankees lead 2-0 at home at the halfway point, while the Dodgers also secured two of the required four wins and dominated the Mets in Queens last night to take a 2-1 lead in the NLCS. The Yankees shouldn’t have any interest in letting the ALCS return to New York, and they’ll be looking to take a 3-0 lead when Clarke Schmidt gets the ball.

Today is a championship doubleheader with the Yankees drawing the early 5 p.m. slot. Before the game, check out Sam’s review of last night’s NLCS Game 3 as well as his look at the 1999 ALCS Game 4.
