The Los Angeles Dodgers will host the Arizona Diamondbacks in Games 1 and 2 of the best-of-five National League Division Series (NLDS) presented by Booking.com, beginning tomorrow, October 7 at 6:20 p.m. The series will then move to Arizona for Game 3 and an if necessary Game 4.

The Dodgers were 8-5 against the Snakes this season, with Los Angeles taking the last five meetings, including a three-game sweep at home and a two-game sweep at Chase Field. This is the second postseason matchup between these division rivals, with the Blue Crew sweeping the D-Backs in their first meeting in 2017.
Former Dodgers first baseman, 1992 Rookie of the Year, Silver Slugger and current broadcaster Eric Karros throwing out the first pitch prior to Game 1 of the NLDS for the second year in a row. Gospel singer Keith Williams Jr. returns to follow up his Opening Day performance and sing the National Anthem while two F-35 jets from The Black Knights of Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar perform a flyover. After an off day on Sunday, the teams will face off again for Game 2 on Monday night at 6:07 p.m. PT. Grammy nominee Lupita Infante will sing the National Anthem prior to the game and five-time All-Star, four-time Gold Glove winner, two-time Silver Slugger, and current Dodger broadcaster Adrián González will toss the ceremonial first pitch for Game 2. Both games will feature pregame performances throughout the park from different DJs and musical groups.
