2024 MLB Showdown Set -- NLCS Preview

Been a while since we put out some cards, but we've been inspired by Cal's awesome 2011 set to put out some 2024 cards - especially when a battle between two of the highest payrolls in baseball is set to begin in the NLCS. I apologize if there's a change here-or-there that the teams made between NLDS and NLCS, but I'm just rocking with the playoff guys that I see (it's already going to be *a lot* of cards for y'all). All cards were made using the epic MLB Showdown bot, which you can use to make your own cards too! Without further ado, let's take a look at the teams in the NLCS: Dodgers and Mets!

Little comparison of the overall cards between the two MVP candidates on these teams... as a big Showdown believer, you better believe I'm taking Ohtani over Lindor

2011 Set - Los Angeles Dodgers

Somehow the Dodgers managed a winning record in 2011 despite having basically two good players. It doesn’t hurt that those two players were arguably the best pitcher and best position player in the NL that year – Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw and MVP runner-up Matt Kemp.

Kershaw is a tier-2 starter with no doubles who can pitch 7 innings. Kemp is the only 10 OB, A speed card in the set, and his chart

2020 MLB SHOWDOWN SET --- NL WEST

 It's Friday you know what that means, time for another division of the 2020 set. This time we bring the NL West and the top two teams in this division are mighty impressive. I can't imagine the showdown battles that can be had with these teams. The other three teams bring on plenty of useable players and once again we see the depth of a division. The Dodgers are currently down 3-1 to the Braves in the NLCS, can they use this showdown squad to get this series back to a game 7.
