Monday is a travel day for the National League. Both series are knotted up 1-1 as they head to the homes of the lower seeds.   walk-off hit capped off a back-and-forth affair in Philadelphia yesterday, squaring things with the Mets. The Padres had a much more convincing (but still ) beatdown of the Dodgers to tie that series.  The latter has a couple health situations to monitor.  and  each departed yesterdays game. Bogaerts absence was on accounting of hamstring cramping and came after the Padres had taken a six-run lead. That seemed precautionary at the time, and skipper Mike Shildt said today that the teams belief is that it was simply a result of dehydration ( via Annie Heilbrunn of  Tampa Bay Rays Jersey the San Diego Union-Tribune). Freeman has had a bigger problem, playing through a sprained right ankle. L.A. manager Dave Roberts told reporters ( Fabian Ardaya of the Athletic) this evening that Freeman was receiving treatment; his status for tomorrows game remains uncertain.  San Diego looks to have the distinctive edge from a pitching perspective for Game 3. Theyll turn to righty  , owner of a 2.95 ERA in the regular season. Los Angeles counters with the scuffling  , who allowed more than five earned runs per nine this year after returning from his second career Tommy John surgery.  Neither team has named a starter for Game 4. Shildt kept open the po sibility of turning back to Game 1 starter  on short rest on Wednesday ( via AJ Ca savell of MLB.com). Theyd presumably only do that if they lose tomorrow and are facing elimination in Game 4. Roberts has already shot down the po sibility of bringing his Game 1 starter,  , back on short rest. That very likely leaves L.A. to turn to rookie  in the fourth game.  Theres more clarity on the pitching plans in the NLs other series. The pair of NL East rivals have already named starters for both games thatll take place in Queens. Its a matchup between  and  tomorrow. Theyve both had good seasons, though Manaea was a bit better than Nola was down the stretch.  Itll be a pair of southpaws on Wednesday. Philadelphia turns to  , while the Mets counter with . Quintana followed up a brilliant September with six scorele s innings to help keep the Mets alive in the rubber match of their Wild Card series in Milwaukee. Surez has yet to pitch this postseason. Hes generally as good as any fourth starter in MLB. Surez looked as if hed even be in the Cy Young conversation early in the year, but he was hit hard in September after losing a month to a back injury. He finished the season with a 3.46 ERA through 150 2/3 innings.  Philadelphia will have  in reserve if the series goes to a decider. New York is expected to counter in a potential Game 5 with  , who managed two innings on 31 pitches in his return from the 60-day injured list last week.  Which two teams will punch their ticket to the NLCS later this week?  What Will Be The Result Of LAD/SD?  Padres in 5. 39.05%  (3,485votes)  Padres in 4. 32.72%  (2,920votes)  Dodgers in 5. 23.80%  (2,124votes)  Dodgers in 4. 4.44%  (396votes)  Total Votes: 8,925  What Will Be The Result Of PHI/NYM?  Phillies in 5. 40.99%  (3,239votes)  Mets in 5. 27.08%  (2,140votes)  Mets in 4. 19.75%  (1,561votes)  Phillies in 4. 12.17%  (962votes)  Total Votes: 7,902  Brandon Lowe Jersey
