2015 NATIONAL LEAGUE BASEBALL DIVISION SERIES
October 13, 2015  | By David Bianculli

TBS, 4:30 p.m. ET

 
It’s a fiercely competitive baseball postseason – no team has swept its division series, and teams facing elimination have found a way, thus far, to stave it off. In the National League, two teams worth rooting for have taken a 2-1 lead in their respective series, and could claim victory tonight – or, like their American League counterparts tomorrow, face a series-clinching Game 5. The first of tonight’s games, both of which are televised by TBS, has the St. Louis Cardinals facing the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field for Game 4 at 4:30 p.m. ET. The Cubs won Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead in games – and if they win, it’ll be the first time the clubs have won a playoff series at home since 1908, the year the Cubs last won the World Series. That’s also six years before the team moved into Wrigley Field, which means the home-team fans sitting in the storied Wrigley ball park have yet to experience a win at this level. Then, at 8 p.m. ET, it’s Game 4 of the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Mets contest. After losing Game 2, and their shortstop to a controversial broken-leg injury inflicted by a Chase Utley slide into second, the Mets fought back to win last night’s Game 3 – with an offensively explosive 13-7 score – and take a 2-1 lead in games over the Dodgers. The Mets would love to exact more revenge by winning tonight, and taking the division series in front of the home fans at Citi Field. In both games, lots and lots of drama…
