2020 National League Division Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2020 National League Division Series were two best-of-five-games series in Major League Baseball (MLB) to determine the participating teams in the 2020 National League Championship Series. These matchups were:
- (1) Los Angeles Dodgers (West Division champions) vs. (4) San Diego Padres (West Division 2nd place): Dodgers win series 3–0.
- (2) Atlanta Braves (East Division champions) vs. (6) Miami Marlins (East Division 2nd place): Braves win series 3–0.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all games for each of the two series were held at two neutral sites at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas and at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas. The games were televised nationally by FS1 and MLB Network.
Both series ended in a sweep for the first time in the NL since 2007, as the Dodgers and Braves advanced to the NLCS.
The Dodgers went on to defeat the Braves in the NLCS, then won the 2020 World Series over the American League champion Tampa Bay Rays. This was the Dodgers' first World Series title since 1988.
