The National League Division Series starts with a heavyweight clash as the Los Angeles Dodgers take on the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 1 on Saturday.

The Phillies, who controlled the NL East most of the season, come in rested and confident behind stars Bryce Harper and NL-MVP contender Kyle Schwarber.

The Phillies won four of six games against the Dodgers during the regular season, which gives them some added confidence. Playing at Citizens Bank Park in front of their home fans also gives them an edge, but the Dodgers’ lineup is dangerous enough to nullify any home advantage.
