The 2023 National League Wild Card Series will be two best-of-three playoff series in Major League Baseball (MLB) that determined the participating teams of the 2023 National League Division Series (NLDS). Both Wild Card Series will begin on October 3, with Game 2s scheduled for October 4. ESPN will broadcast both Wild Card Series in the United States together with ESPN Radio.[1]

These matchups were:

Background

Under the current playoff structure, there are two Wild Card Series in both the American League (AL) and National League (NL). The lowest-seeded division winner and three wild card teams in each league play in a best-of-three series after the end of the regular season. The winners of each league's wild card rounds advance to face the two-best division winners in that league's Division Series.

The Milwaukee Brewers (92–70) clinched a postseason berth on September 22[2] and the NL Central on September 26.[3][4] Due to having the worst record of the three National League division winners, they are locked into the third seed. The Brewers are making their first postseason appearance since 2021, and their fifth in six seasons. They will host the fifth-seeded Arizona Diamondbacks (84–78), who clinched a postseason berth on September 30.[5] The Diamondbacks are making their first postseason appearance since 2017, and just the second since 2011. Arizona won the season series against Milwaukee, 4–2.[6] Historically, this is the second postseason match-up between the two teams, following the 2011 National League Division Series, which was won by the Brewers in five games.

The Philadelphia Phillies (90–72) clinched a postseason berth on September 26.[7][8] Due to having the best non-division winning record, they clinched the fourth-seed and home-field advantage for the wild card series. The Phillies, the defending National League champions, are making their second straight postseason appearance. They will host the sixth-seeded Miami Marlins (84–77), who clinched a postseason berth on September 30.[9] Miami won the season series against Philadelphia, 7–6, despite being outscored 64-55.[10] This is the first postseason match-up between the NL East division rivals.

As the top two seeds, the Atlanta Braves (104–58) and Los Angeles Dodgers (100–62) earned a bye and home-field advantage in the National League Division Series.[11][12]
