League Western Division winners Los Angeles Dodgers, having swept the Chicago Cubs three straight games in the NLDS, must now take on the NL East champs, Philadelphia Phillies, in Game-1 of the National League Championship Series at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia tonight. The Phillies are here after beating the Milwaukee Brewers in three-of-four divisional series games.

The Dodgers are going to get all they can out of starting pitcher Derek Lowe who is tabbed to start Game-1. The big right hander could get three starts if the series goes seven games. Lowe finished the regular season with a 14-11 record and a 3.24 ERA.

Hamels has made two starts against the Dodgers this year, going 1-0 with a 2.57 ERA.
