The Los Angeles Dodgers secured their 25th National League pennant with a 10-5 victory over the New York Mets in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series. This win sends the Dodgers to their 22nd World Series, and the first at home since 1988. Shohei Ohtani, in his debut postseason with the Dodgers, played a pivotal role with two hits and two runs.

Tommy Edman and Will Smith both homered, propelling the Dodgers forward. Edman, who joined mid-season, tied a franchise record with 11 RBIs in the NLCS. The Mets, despite their strong season, were unable to overcome the Dodgers, falling in six games.

Next, the Dodgers will face the New York Yankees, marking the 12th time these two iconic teams meet in the World Series. It will be a clash of baseball titans, featuring top home-run hitters Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani.
