The 2021 National League Wild Card Game is a play-in game during Major League Baseball's (MLB) 2021 postseason contested between the two wild card teams in the National League (NL): the St. Louis Cardinals and the Los Angeles Dodgers. It is being played on October 6,[2] at Dodgers Stadium. The game is being televised nationally by TBS and presented by Hankook Tire.[2] The winning team will advance to the National League Division Series to face the San Francisco Giants, winner of the NL West.
Background
The St. Louis Cardinals secured a postseason berth in the Wild Card Game on September 28.[3] The Cardinals previously appeared in the 2012 NL Wild Card Game, defeating the Atlanta Braves,[4] and the 2020 NL Wild Card Series, where they fell to the San Diego Padres, two games to one.[5]
With the San Francisco Giants finishing their season (107–55), they clinched the National League West division, resulting in the Los Angeles Dodgers (106–56) hosting the Cardinals in the Wild Card Game. This is the Dodgers' first wild card game appearance after winning the NL West for eight consecutive seasons. The Dodgers set an MLB record for the the most wins by a wild card team.[6]
The Cardinals won 22 of their final 25 regular-season games, which included a 17-game winning streak, the longest in franchise history.[7] Since acquiring Max Scherzer and Trea Turner at the trade deadline, the Dodgers went 44–13 the rest of the season.[8]
This is the sixth postseason meeting between the Dodgers and Cardinals, with the Cardinals winning four and Dodgers one. In the regular season series, the Dodgers posted a 4–3 record against the Cardinals.[9]
