A pair of teams that haven't been to the postseason in over a decade will meet in the National League Division Series, as the National League East champion Philadelphia Phillies battle the NL wild card-winning Colorado Rockies.

The Phillies return to the postseason for the first time since 1993, when the club last won the NL East. Philadelphia defeated the Atlanta Braves in the League Championship series before falling to the Toronto Blue Jays in six games in the World Series.

Colorado, meanwhile, hasn't played in a playoff game since 1995, the club's third year of existence. The team set a couple of firsts that season, as they were the NL's first-ever wild card team while also becoming the fastest expansion club in major league history to reach the postseason. More>>
