The Mets have driven the Dodgers to the brink of elimination, but Los Angeles will be looking to force a winner-take-all meeting when the teams continue their best-of-five NLDS live from Citi Field in Queens, N.Y.

Chipper Jones' Playoff Allegiance Is Shocking

After the teams split Games 1 and 2 in Los Angeles, Citi Field played host to its first postseason game since its doors opened in 2009 and New York's bats came alive -- to the tune of a 13-7 victory.

The Mets will look to improve to 2-0 at Citi Field in playoff games and to stamp their ticket to the NLCS for the first time since 2006, while the Dodgers will turn to their ace in hopes of forcing a Game 5 Thursday in Los Angeles.

Things To Know

--Clayton Kershaw (16-7, 2.13 ERA) will take the mound for the Dodgers on short rest after absorbing the loss in Game 1 by allowing three runs and he'll look to improve on his 1-6, 4.99 career postseason numbers. The Mets counter with rookie Steven Matz (4-0, 2.77), who makes his postseason debut and pitches for the first time in 19 days.

--Curtis Granderson matches a Mets franchise record with five RBIs in Game 3, while Yoenis Cespedes homered for the second straight game and Travis d'Arnaud also went deep. Adrian Gonzalez and Howie Kendrick (three RBIs) hit long balls for Los Angeles in the loss.

--Teams that have taken a 2-1 series lead in NLDS play are 39-10 in those series, according to MLB.com. Kershaw is 0-2 with a 9.00 ERA in games when the Dodgers face elimination, but appears poised to breakout in playoff play eventually. If there is a Game 5, it'll pit Game 1 Mets starter Jacob deGrom against Game 2 Dodgers hurler Zack Greinke at Dodger Stadium.
