This is just the second postseason match-up between St. Īs the top two seeds, the Los Angeles Dodgers (111–51) and Atlanta Braves (101–61) earned a bye and home-field advantage in the NLDS. San Diego won both series against New York, defeating them 2–1 in early June and late July, for a total of 4–2. The Mets hosted the San Diego Padres (89–73), who clinched their first postseason appearance since 2020 and just the second since 2006 on October 2.
The Mets made their first postseason appearance since 2016, becoming the fourth team with 100-win National League wild card team following the 106-win 2021 Los Angeles Dodgers (the other teams were the 2001 Athletics and 2018 Yankees). The New York Mets (101–61) clinched a postseason berth on September 19, but they failed to win the National League East after losing their division lead on the last weekend of the season by the hands of a three-game sweep from Atlanta. The Phillies won four of the seven match-ups against the Cardinals during the regular season.
Louis Cardinals (93–69) clinched the National League Central, their fourth straight postseason appearance, and their first as the NL Central winner since 2019 on September 27, However, they were locked into the 3-seed as the worst National League division winner in terms of record and hosted the Philadelphia Phillies (87–75), who was the last team to clinch a postseason berth among the twelve playoff teams and making their first postseason appearance since 2011 on October 3. The postseason structure is similar to the temporarily format MLB used in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic without first-round byes for the top two seeds in 2020. The third seed will play the sixth seed, and the fourth seed will play the fifth seed. The lowest-seeded division winner, and three wild card teams (each seeded according to regular season record), will play in this round. On March 10, Major League Baseball changed the postseason structure for the first time since 2012, adding a sixth team to the postseason in each league, awarding the top two division winners in each league (seeded by record) to receive a bye into the Division Series, and added a best-of-three Wild Card round hosted by the higher seed. ESPN broadcast both Wild Card Series together with ESPN Radio. Both Wild Card Series began on October 7, with Game 2s scheduled for October 8 and Game 3s, if necessary, scheduled for October 9. The 2022 National League Wild Card Series were two best-of-three playoff series in Major League Baseball (MLB) to determine the participating teams of the 2022 National League Division Series.
