4, for this being the fourth time the Phillies and Dodgers have met in the NLCS. Which is the second-most frequent NLCS match-up of all-time behind Cincinnati-Pittsburgh. The Reds and Pirates have met in the NLCS five times (1970, 1972, 1975, 1979, 1990), while the Dodgers and Phillies will have met four times (1977, 1978, 1983, 2008). No other match-up has occurred more than twice. This will be the first time the Dodgers have met the Phillies in a best-of-seven NLCS, the three previous meetings were all best-of-five, and each of the three went four games. Dodgers won in '77 and '78, Phillies won in '83.
The two teams split the season series 4-4, with both clubs sweeping their home games. This series has the potential of being a fantastic one, with both clubs matching up well throughout their respected lineups.
