The Los Angeles Dodgers lead the best-of-seven National Championship Series 3-1 and can clinch a spot in the 2024 World Series with a win on Friday against the New York Mets.

Los Angeles won 10-2 in Game 4 at Citi Field on Thursday and defeated the Mets 30-9 in the series, with the three wins coming by margins of nine, eight and eight runs – including shutouts in Games 1 and 3.

Mookie Betts went 4-for-6 with a home run and four RBI in the Dodgers’ Game 4 victory and likely NL MVP Shohei Ohtani homered for the second straight game after being held without a longball in the previous six.

David Peterson (10-3, 2.90 ERA) will get the start for the Mets, who are looking to extend New York’s season. The left-hander is making his first start of the postseason, but was crucial out of the bullpen, picking up a win and a save in four appearances with a 2.08 ERA. Right-hander Jack Flaherty takes the mound for the Dodgers in the potential game-changer after a masterful performance in Game 1.
