Dodgers vs. Mets: A Decisive Bullpen Game for a World Series Berth

The Los Angeles Dodgers are preparing for a bullpen game as they aim to secure a win against the New York Mets in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series. The Dodgers, who have frequently relied on relievers this postseason, hope for a better outcome than their previous bullpen games. The Mets, led by pitcher Sean Manaea, forced the series back to Los Angeles with a 12-6 win in Game 5.

The Dodgers seek their fourth World Series appearance in eight years, with their last championship coming in 2020. Their pitching strategy involves using key relievers earlier, as manager Dave Roberts adjusts based on the Mets’ lineup. Meanwhile, Manaea, 2-0 in playoff starts, hopes to perform well despite some challenges in his last outing.

The teams last met in the NLCS in 1988, when the Dodgers won their sixth World Series title. With warm weather expected for Game 6, both teams are gearing up for what could be a decisive matchup in the series.
