Dodgers Face Mets in NLCS Game 6

The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to face the New York Mets in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, aiming to clinch their first trip to the World Series since 2020. The Dodgers will be without Freddie Freeman, who is sidelined due to a sore ankle, prompting Max Muncy to start at first base. The team plans to employ a bullpen strategy, relying on high-leverage relievers as they seek to improve upon their previous bullpen game performance against the Mets. The Mets are sending Sean Manaea to the mound, who has been effective in the playoffs with a 2.65 ERA. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts indicated a more aggressive approach in utilizing their relievers, aiming to secure the pennant at home for the first time since 1988. This postseason, the Dodgers have faced challenges but remain focused on capitalizing on their strengths to secure a decisive win.
