NEW YORK -- Back in late May, when the Mets last saw the Dodgers, the series changed their season. The Dodgers swept the Mets in three games, prompting shortstop Francisco Lindor to call a players-only meeting at Citi Field.
紐約 - 回到五月底，梅茲上次見到道奇時，這個系列賽改變了他們的賽季。道奇在三場比賽中橫掃了梅茲，促使游擊手弗朗西斯科·林多在城市球場召開僅限球員的會議。

The group spoke to each other about accountability. To this day, many Mets credit that meeting for the turnaround that followed.
該團體彼此討論了責任問題。直到今天，許多大都會隊的球員都認為那次會議是隨後轉變的關鍵。

It was a reversal that wound up sparking the Mets into the National League Championship Series against -- who else? -- the Dodgers. Two nights after the Mets beat Philadelphia to advance to the NLCS, the Dodgers brushed aside their own division rival, San Diego, to meet them there.
這是一場逆轉，最終激勵了大都會隊進入國家聯盟冠軍賽，對陣誰呢？對陣道奇隊。在大都會隊擊敗費城晉級國家聯盟冠軍賽兩天後，道奇隊擊敗了自己的分區對手聖地牙哥，與他們相遇。

The best-of-seven series will begin Sunday evening in Los Angeles.
最佳七場系列賽將於星期日晚上在洛杉磯開始。

“It’s not going to be easy,” Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo said on clinch night, when asked about a matchup against either NL West team. “None of this is. That’s what postseason’s all about. But we like our chances against anybody.”
「這不會輕鬆的，」大都會隊外野手布蘭登·尼莫在晉級之夜時說道，當被問及對陣任何一支國家聯盟西區球隊的比賽時。「這一切都不容易。這就是季後賽的意義。但我們對與任何對手的比賽機會感到滿意。」

The Dodgers won four of the six regular-season matchups against the Mets. They’re the top overall seed, and they feature the sport’s best player in Shohei Ohtani. The Mets are the lowest seed on the NL side of the bracket. But that doesn’t quite tell the story of these two teams, as the Dodgers have battled injuries all year, particularly to their rotation, while the Mets have produced MLB’s best record since May 30 -- the day after their last series against the Dodgers ended.
道奇隊在常規賽季的六場比賽中贏得了四場對上大都會隊的比賽。他們是整體種子排名第一，並且擁有運動界最佳球員大谷翔平。大都會隊是國家聯盟分區中種子排名最低的球隊。但這並不能完全說明這兩支球隊的情況，因為道奇隊整個賽季都在與傷病作鬥爭，尤其是他們的先發輪值，而大都會隊自 5 月 30 日以來一直是美國職棒大聯盟自最後一次對陣道奇隊結束後的最佳戰績。

The Mets also have some fortuitous recent history on their side. In 2015, an underdog Mets team waltzed into Chavez Ravine and upset the Dodgers in the decisive Game 5 of the NL Division Series, then made it all the way to the World Series. They would like to do something similar this time around.
大都會隊最近也有一些幸運的歷史在他們身邊。在 2015 年，一支不被看好的大都會隊走進查維茲峽谷，擊敗了道奇隊，在國家聯盟分組系列賽的關鍵第 5 場比賽中，然後一路晉級到了世界大賽。他們希望這次也能做類似的事情。

But the perennially contending Dodgers have other ideas. They want to prove that despite all the adversity they’ve faced this season, they have what it takes to run deep into October and add a second World Series title in the last five seasons.
但長期競爭的道奇隊有其他想法。他們想證明，儘管本賽季面臨著種種逆境，他們有能力在十月深入比賽，並在過去五個賽季中再次贏得第二個世界大賽冠軍。

“We're going to celebrate tonight, as you can see,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the Game 5 win over the Padres. “But the job's not done, and you will see the focus, the fire going forward, with the expectation to win eight more games. And that Mets team is playing really good baseball, but we'll be ready.”
“正如你所看到的，我們今晚將慶祝，”道奇隊經理戴夫·羅伯茨在擊敗國民隊後說道。“但工作還沒完成，你將看到我們將會專注、火力全開，期待贏得另外八場比賽。那支大都會隊打得非常出色，但我們會準備好。”

Who are the starting pitchers?
誰是先發投手？
Mets: RHP Kodai Senga
大都會：右投手 千賀大
Manager Carlos Mendoza announced Senga will go in Game 1, followed by Sean Manaea in Game 2. Senga was a surprise decision to start NLDS Game 1 against the Phillies, but the righty pitched two solid innings after giving up a leadoff homer to Kyle Schwarber in his first start since July 26.
經理卡洛斯·門多薩宣布 Senga 將在第 1 場比賽中出場，接著是肖恩·馬內亞在第 2 場比賽中出場。 Senga 在對陣費城人隊的 NLDS 第 1 場比賽中被選為先發是個驚喜決定，但這名右投在自 7 月 26 日以來的首次先發後，投出了兩局穩健的表現，儘管在首局比賽中被凱爾·施瓦伯擊出了一支先發全壘打。

Dodgers: RHP Jack Flaherty
道奇：右投手 傑克·弗萊爾蒂
The Dodgers officially announced Saturday that Flaherty will take the mound in Game 1. Flaherty was an option out of the bullpen in Friday’s winner-take-all game against the Padres, but the Dodgers didn’t have to use him. That ensured that Flaherty, the club’s big Trade Deadline acquisition, would be available to take the ball in Game 1 against the Mets. Flaherty will be looking for a bounce-back start after allowing four runs over 5 1/3 innings in Game 2 of the NLDS.
道奇隊在週六正式宣布，弗拉赫蒂將在第 1 場比賽中登板。弗拉赫蒂是週五對陣敵人的勝者全拼比賽中從牛棚中的一個選擇，但道奇隊並沒有必要使用他。這確保了弗拉赫蒂，球隊在交易截止日獲得的重要補強，將可以在對上大都會隊的第 1 場比賽中上場。弗拉赫蒂將尋求在國家聯盟分區系列賽第 2 場比賽中投出 5 1/3 局失去 4 分後的反彈開局。

What are the starting lineups?
什麼是首發陣容？
Mets: Throughout the Wild Card Series and NLDS, Mendoza’s daily lineup decisions were straightforward. Not counting what has essentially been a DH platoon between J.D. Martinez and Jesse Winker, Mendoza used the same personnel in six of the team’s seven games during those rounds. Things are more complicated in the NLCS with second baseman Jeff McNeil on the roster after returning from a wrist injury, but Jose Iglesias still got the call to start at second base against the right-handed Flaherty. Marte moves up to the five-spot after batting seventh in every prior game this October.
Mets：在野卡系列賽和國家聯盟分區系列賽期間，門多薩的每日陣容決策都很直接。不計算 J.D.馬丁尼斯和傑西溫克之間本質上的 DH 分區，門多薩在這些回合中的七場比賽中有六場使用了相同的人員。在 NLCS 中，由於二壘手傑夫·麥克尼爾從手腕受傷後回歸陣容，情況變得更加複雜，但是何塞伊格萊西亞斯仍然被選中在右投手弗拉爾蒂面前出戰二壘。馬爾特在本月的每場比賽中都在第七局打擊，現在升至第五局。

• Mets shedding underdog label
  大都會擺脫了弱勢者的標籤

Dodgers: The Dodgers are dealing with injuries to Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas -- who was left off the NLCS roster -- but they are lining up almost the same as they did in Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres. Kiké Hernández has earned a spot in the lineup moving forward with strong play thus far.
道奇隊： 道奇隊正面臨弗雷迪·弗里曼和米格爾·羅哈斯受傷的問題 - 他被從 NLCS 名單中剔除 - 但他們的陣容幾乎與對陣國會的第 5 場比賽相同。 基克·埃爾南德斯迄今表現出色，贏得了繼續在陣容中的位置。

How will the bullpens line up after each team's starter?
每支球隊的先發投手後，牛棚將如何排列？
Mets: Given off-days from Thursday through Saturday, the Mets will enter the NLCS featuring as fresh a bullpen as they’ve had at any point since mid-September. Everyone should be available, though that doesn’t mean there are no concerns. Top of the list is closer Edwin Díaz, who has had only one clean inning since Sept. 21. During the 2024 postseason, Díaz has walked five of the 17 batters he faced. One of the Mets’ top priorities will be getting him right.
大都會： 由於週四至週六有休息日，大都會將進入 NLCS，他們的牛棚將會是自 9 月中旬以來最為新鮮的。每個人都應該是可用的，儘管這並不意味著沒有擔憂。首要問題是接近者Edwin Díaz，自 9 月 21 日以來只有一個乾淨的局。在 2024 年季後賽中，Díaz 對面對的 17 名打者中有五名被保送。大都會的首要任務之一將是讓他恢復正常。

Phil Maton and Ryne Stanek will continue to operate as Díaz’s top setup men. The Mets also have left-hander David Peterson to deploy as anything from a high-leverage, left-on-left weapon to a multi-inning length option.
Phil Maton 和 Ryne Stanek 將繼續擔任 Díaz 的頂級設定人。大都會隊還有左投手 David Peterson 可用作高杠杆、左打者對決武器，或多局投球的選擇。

Dodgers: It was a long NLDS for the bullpen, but it played a monumental role in the Dodgers finishing up the series with 24 consecutive scoreless innings against one of the best offenses in the Majors. Blake Treinen, Evan Phillips and Michael Kopech will be the big right-handed options for Los Angeles. Anthony Banda will hope to pick up the slack on the left side for injured Alex Vesia, who did not make the NLCS roster.
道奇隊： 這是一個漫長的 NLDS 對於牛棚來說，但它在道奇隊對抗大聯盟最強攻勢之一的系列賽中扮演了一個重要角色，完成了 24 局連續無失分。 Blake Treinen、Evan Phillips 和 Michael Kopech 將是洛杉磯的重要右投選擇。 Anthony Banda 希望能在左投方面補足受傷的 Alex Vesia 的空缺，後者沒有入選 NLCS 名單。

Any injuries of note? 有任何值得注意的傷害嗎？
Mets: McNeil has been out since Sept. 6 due to a fractured right wrist, but he rejoined the team last weekend and has been participating in daily baseball activities ever since. McNeil appeared in the AFL on Friday and Saturday before being added to the active roster on Sunday.
大都會： McNeil 自 9 月 6 日因右手腕骨折而缺席，但他上週末重新加入球隊，並自那時起每天參與棒球活動。McNeil 於星期五和星期六出現在 AFL，然後於星期日被加入活躍名單。

Lindor still receives daily treatment on a back injury he sustained in mid-September. But these days, it barely bothers him. He’s essentially back to being a full-strength player.
林多仍然每天接受治療，因為他在九月中旬受傷了背部。但是這些日子，這幾乎不再困擾他。他基本上已經恢復到成為一名全力球員的狀態。

Dodgers: Freeman could be limited as the series wears on as he continues to play through a badly sprained right ankle, but the star first baseman should be ready for Game 1 on Sunday. Rojas, dealing with a tear in his left adductor, was left off the NLCS roster. Vesia, too, will miss this round, though the Dodgers hope he can return if they advance to the World Series.
道奇隊：弗里曼可能在系列賽進行時受限，因為他繼續在嚴重扭傷的右腳踝上比賽，但這位明星一壘手應該會在星期日的第一場比賽中準備就緒。羅哈斯因左大腿內收肌撕裂而被從國家聯盟冠軍賽名單中刪除。維西亞也將錯過這一輪比賽，不過道奇隊希望如果他們晉級進入世界大賽，他可以回歸。

Who is hot and who is not?
誰是熱門的，誰不是？
Mets: Alonso homered twice in four NLDS games, both of them to the opposite field. He has been on fire since going deep to give the Mets the lead in Wild Card Series Game 3 in Milwaukee. Nimmo went 4-for-14 with a homer during the NLDS and has been hot for the past two weeks. Lindor, of course, has developed a knack for coming through in moments big and small, as evidenced by his NLDS Game 4 grand slam and his .906 OPS during that series. But no one is hotter than Vientos, who had multiple hits in all four NLDS games and batted .563 for the round.
梅茲：阿隆索在四場國家聯盟分區系列賽中兩度擊出全壘打，都是往相反方向擊出。自從在密爾瓦基的野牌系列賽第 3 場比賽中擊出全壘打幫助梅茲取得領先以來，他一直表現火熱。尼莫在國家聯盟分區系列賽中擊出 4 支安打，其中包括一支全壘打，過去兩周一直表現出色。林多爾當然已經培養出在重要時刻挺身而出的能力，這在他在分區系列賽第 4 場比賽中擊出滿貫全壘打以及在該系列賽中的 0.906 OPS 中得到了證明。但沒有人比維恩托斯更火熱，他在所有四場國家聯盟分區系列賽中都擊出多支安打，並在該輪比賽中擊球率達到 0.563。

As for the not-so-hot Mets, they’ve been clustered in the bottom third of New York’s lineup. Marte, Alvarez and Taylor combined to bat .135 in the NLDS without an extra-base hit.
至於表現不太理想的大都會隊，他們一直被聚集在紐約陣容的後三分之一。馬爾特、阿爾瓦雷斯和泰勒在國家聯盟分區系列賽中合計擊球率為 0.135，並未擊出任何附加壘打。

Dodgers: Perhaps nobody on the Dodgers likes October more than Enrique Hernández, who now has 14 career postseason homers following his second-inning drive off Yu Darvish in Game 5 of the NLDS. Teoscar Hernández has also been huge for the Dodgers this postseason, with a pair of clutch homers.
道奇隊：或許在道奇隊中沒有人比恩里克·埃爾南德斯更喜歡十月，他在國家聯盟分區系列賽第五場比賽中對達爾維許擊出的全壘打後，現在已經擁有 14 支季後賽全壘打。特奧斯卡·埃爾南德斯在這個季後賽中也為道奇隊做出了巨大貢獻，擊出了兩支關鍵的全壘打。第二局的全壘打。

The Dodgers could use some more offensive production from Muncy, Smith and Edman, all of whom struggled at times against the Padres. Ohtani will also look to bounce back from his first three-strikeout postseason game.
道奇隊可能需要從蒙西、史密斯和艾德曼等人那裡獲得更多進攻生產力，他們在對陣教士隊時有時表現不佳。大谷翔平也將努力從他的首場三次三振季後賽比賽中反彈。

Anything else fans might want to know?
粉絲可能想知道的其他事情？
• The Mets and Dodgers have met three times in October, dating to a 1988 NLCS win for Los Angeles in what’s still considered one of the greatest postseason series. The Mets earned some revenge in the 2006 NLDS, sweeping the Dodgers, and again in a highly entertaining 2015 NLDS win.
• 大都會隊和道奇隊在十月份已經碰過三次，從 1988 年國家聯盟冠軍賽的洛杉磯勝利開始，這仍被認為是其中一個最偉大的季後賽系列。大都會隊在 2006 年國家聯盟分區系列賽中報了一箭之仇，橫掃了道奇隊，並在 2015 年國家聯盟分區系列賽中再次取得了一場極具娛樂性的勝利。

• One subplot of this series will be the performance of Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who was excellent for the Dodgers in NLDS Game 5. The Mets were reportedly the only team to match Los Angeles’ $325 million offer last offseason to Yamamoto. Now, the Mets will look to score a win off him in the postseason.
• 這個系列的一個次要情節將是山本義信的表現，在 NLDS 第 5 場比賽中他為道奇隊表現出色。據報導，大都會隊是上個休賽期唯一與洛杉磯匹敵的球隊，提供了 3.25 億美元的合同給山本。現在，大都會隊將在季後賽中試圖從他身上得分。

• While the Mets led baseball with a 67-40 record from May 30 through the end of the season, the Dodgers weren’t far behind, at 62-42. Both ranked in MLB’s top five over that stretch.
• 從 5 月 30 日到賽季結束，大都會隊以 67 勝 40 負的戰績在棒球界領先，而道奇隊也不遠落後，戰績為 62 勝 42 負。兩隊在這段期間都排名 MLB 前五。
