what happens if dodgers win today

If the Los Angeles Dodgers win today, October 9, 2025, in Game 4 of the National League Division Series (NLDS) against the Philadelphia Phillies, they will clinch the series by winning three games out of the best-of-five format. This means the Dodgers will advance to the next round, the National League Championship Series (NLCS). The Phillies would be eliminated from the postseason if they lose today. Currently, the Dodgers lead the NLDS series 2-1, so a win today will give them the third victory needed to end the series. The Dodgers have already won two games on the road, and winning this game at home will make a sweep of the Phillies, preventing a Game 5 decider from being necessary.
