MILWAUKEE – The rivalry is heading to the playoffs.

After winning their National League Wild Card series against the Brewers in dramatic fashion on Thursday night, the Mets now face the Philadelphia Phillies for the first time in the Major League Baseball playoffs.

The No. 6 seed Mets and second-seeded Phillies will face off in the NL Division Series beginning with Game 1 on Saturday at 4:08 p.m. at Citizens Bank Park.

The Phillies are looking to compete in the NL Championship Series for the third straight year, while the Mets have a chance to reach the championship for the first time since 2015.

With a highly anticipated matchup set to begin later this weekend, here’s what you need to know for a playoff series between the Mets and Phillies:

Mets vs. Phillies NLDS schedule

Game 1: Mets at Phillies, Saturday, 4:08 p.m., FOX

Game 2: Mets at Phillies, Sunday, 4:08 p.m., FS1

Game 3: Phillies at Mets, TBD Tuesday, FOX/FS1

Game 4 if required: Phillies at Mets, TBD Wednesday, FOX/FS1

Game 5, if applicable: Mets at Phillies, TBD Friday, FOX/FS1

Mets vs. Phillies in the regular season

Despite the Phillies’ six-game lead over the Mets in the National League East, both teams enjoyed a competitive season series, including a dramatic trip to London.

The Mets lost seven of 13 games but won three of four games in the team’s final series at Citi Field on the second-to-last weekend in September. The Mets hit Taijuan Walker with four home runs, Brandon Nimmo hit the go-ahead hitter Zack Wheeler and Francisco Alvarez delivered five RBI in three separate wins.

Earlier in the season, the Phillies conceded three of four points against the Mets early in their May swoop, including a blown save by Edwin Diaz and a complete game shutout by Aaron Nola. Two of those games went into extra innings.

The Mets secured a London split in June with a three-run ninth inning and a game-tying double play by Luis Torrens at home plate with the bases loaded in a 6-5 victory.

Zack Wheeler leads the loaded Phillies rotation

Without the quick resurgence of the Brewers’ Chris Sale, Zack Wheeler very well would have been the leading candidate for the National League Cy Young.

Wheeler finished the season with 224 strikeouts – tied for the third-most in MLB – over 200 innings, with a 16-7 record and a 2.57 ERA. The Mets outscored Wheeler by two runs in seven innings on September 22nd for a 2-1 victory.

Aaron Nola, who finished with a 14-8 record and a 3.57 ERA, struggled in September, but he silenced the Mets in his only start against them with a complete game shutout on May 14.

Cristopher Sanchez is arguably the Phillies’ second-best starter with a 3.25 ERA and 1.18 WHIP since the start of August.

Ranger Suarez cooled off after a dynamic first half that led to his first All-Star selection, but still finished with a 12-8 record, 3.46 ERA and 1.20 WHIP in 27 games.
