For the 2020 Major League Baseball season only, there was an expanded playoff format, owing to an abbreviated 60-game regular season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Eight teams qualified from the National League: the top two teams in each division plus the next two best records among the remaining teams.
This was the third postseason meeting between the two teams, following the 1993 National League Championship Series and last year's National League Division Series, both of which the Phillies won. The Braves won the regular season series against the Phillies, 8–5, with seven of those meetings coming in September.
The National League Central is one of Major League Baseball's six divisions. This division was created in 1994, by moving two teams from the National League West (the Cincinnati Reds and the Houston Astros) and three teams from the National League East (the Chicago Cubs, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and the St. Louis Cardinals).
In addition, the wild card guaranteed that the team with the second-best record in each league would qualify for the playoffs, even if they were in the same division with the team having the best record. As the 1994 postseason was canceled due to the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike, 1995 was the first postseason with a wild card team.
The final two teams are the winners of the National League Wild Card Series, played between the league's third to sixth-seeded teams. The Los Angeles Dodgers (111–51) became the first team to clinch a playoff berth on September 13, their tenth straight postseason appearance, which is the third longest streak in MLB history. [ 1 ]
