The Chicago Cubs have their opponent for the National League Championship Series, as the New York Mets beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 tonight to advance. The NLCS will kick off Saturday at Citi Field in New York, with the game broadcast on TBS at 7pm Central. Jon Lester will be the starting pitcher, giving an extra day of rest to Jake Arrieta, who'll be the likely starter on Sunday.
One promising stat for Chicago fans as the North Siders seek the pennant? The Cubs won all seven games they played against the Mets in the regular season.
