NLDS Game 4 Time, Channel, Updates

The New York Mets have been in win-or-go-home mode for much of the last three weeks. That burden now weighs heavily on the Philadelphia Phillies.

Heading into Game 4 of the National League Division Series at New York's Citi Field, the surging Mets find themselves in a rare, advantageous position: with a 2-1 lead and a chance to knock off their rival, the Eastern champion Phillies.

Left-handed pitcher Ranger Suárez will start for Philadelphia against New York southpaw Jose Quintana, although both pitchers will certainly be on a short leash with so much at stake.

That's doubly true for the Phillies, who are facing elimination: Ace Zack Wheeler will be available if things go south early, as his Game 5 starting assignment won't matter much if the Phillies can't win Game 4. And Game 3 starter Cristopher Sanchez will miss his scheduled bullpen session and will be available for a limited time on just two days of rest.

If the Mets win, they'll pack their bags for either San Diego or Los Angeles for the NL Championship Series. Should the Phillies win today and play Game 5 at home on Friday, they would host the Padres (who lead the rest of the NLDS at 2-1), but would travel to LA should the Dodgers win the next two games in the West.
