The Cincinnati Reds open their National League Wild Card series against the Los Angeles Dodgers Sept. 30. The best-of-three series will all be played at Dodgers Stadium and run through Oct. 2 if all three games are necessary. Here's how the Reds stack up against the defending World Series-champion Dodgers in the best-of-three wild-card series:

The 2024 Dodgers won the World Series by using three starting pitchers in traditional roles and a bevy of gutsy bullpen performances to fill in the gaps. What a difference a year makes.

A group led by Florida-based real estate developer Patrick Zalupski has closed on its purchase of the Tampa Bay Rays, finalizing the sale of the team from former owner Stuart Sternberg.

The Los Angeles Dodgers finished the regular season with momentum, winning 15 of their last 21 games. It still was not enough to propel them into a top-two seed in the NL, and Los Angeles is set to host a wild card series against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday.

Ben Rortvedt has provided a steady presence behind the plate for the pitching staff, improved defense on balls in the dirt, and subtly useful offense.

If DeLauter does play against the Tigers, he would be just the sixth player in MLB history to make his big-league debut in a postseason game. It most recently happened in 2020 when three players did it, including Alex Kirilloff (Minnesota Twins), Shane McClanahan (Tampa Bay Rays) and Ryan Weathers (Padres).

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds will begin their Wild Card series today. Here’s all you need to know about Game 1.

The Tampa Bay Rays have new ownership. The sale of the team to a group led by Florida businessman Patrick Zalupski was finalized on Tuesday, the team announced. The sale price was not disclosed, but it has previously been reported as $1.

Hunter Greene was drafted 2nd overall by the Cincinnati Reds over 8 years ago, and after tonight he’ll finally have a ‘Postseason Pitching’ section on his Baseball Reference player page.
