Both teams were the No. 1 seeds in the American and National Leagues in the postseason, meaning they had wild-card byes.

The Dodgers played the San Diego Padres in the NLDS, winning a close 3–2 series victory. The Dodgers then faced the red hot New York Mets in the NLCS, capturing a 4–2 series win.
