Playoff race
The NL playoff race was highly dramatic when as many as six teams entered the final weekend of the regular season fighting for the final three playoff spots. Two of three division champions were decided on the final day of the regular season.
The New York Mets began the season with high hopes of finally ending the Atlanta Braves string of division titles. The Mets lived up to their high expectations and roared out of the gate, taking over first place in the division on the fourth day of the season and never looking back. They won seven of their first eight games, and had built up a double digit lead in the standing by the end of June. The Mets clinched the division on September 18, and finished 12 games ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves finished third, 18 games back. However, the Mets entered the postseason without injured ace Pedro Martínez, and learned the day before Game 1 of the Divsion Series that projected Game 1 starter Orlando Hernandez would be lost for the whole round.

The St. Louis Cardinals run to their third consecutive Central Division championship pails in comparison to their runs in the previous two seasons. Like the previous two seasons, the Cardinals took over the lead in the division early on, overtaking the Cincinnati Reds on June 9. It appeared as if this season would be like the previous two as the Cardinals steadily built up their lead up to as much as five and a half games and a 42-26 record on June 19. The Cardinals began interleague play by being swept by both the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers as part of an eight game losing streak. Despite the streak, they did not relinquish the division lead. The Reds were able to tie the Cardinals in the standings on June 30 and July 1, but the Cardinals regained sole possession of first place the following day and held onto the lead for the rest of the season despite additional losing streaks of eight and seven games. The main contributor to the Cardinals struggles was the numerous injuries to key players throughout the season to include Albert Pujols, Jim Edmonds, David Eckstein, Chris Carpenter, Mark Mulder, and Jason Isringhausen. The title appeared to be well in hand on September 19 with leads of seven games over the Reds and eight and half games over the Houston Astros with just 13 games left to play. The Cardinals then went on a seven game losing streak just as the Astros won seven consecutive, shrinking their lead to just a game and a half. The Cardinals were able to regain their composure by winning three of their next four and clinching on the final day of the season with an Astros loss to the Atlanta Braves.

The San Diego Padres playoff run was led by their strong pitching and saw closer Trevor Hoffman overtake Lee Smith as the all-time saves leader. This season also marked the first time in Padre history that the team went to the playoffs in consecutive years. The Padres did not clinch a playoff spot until the final weekend of the regular season and finished with an identical record as the Los Angeles Dodgers, but were awarded the Western Division title due to the Padres winning the season series with Dodgers 13-5.

The Los Angeles Dodgers run to the playoffs was most notable for their streaky play in the second half of the season. The Dodgers started the second half by losing 13 out of 14 games and trailing the Padres by seven and a half games, in last place in the division, and behind eight teams in the wild card race. They immediately followed that streak by winning 17 of their next 18 to put them on top of the division by three and half games and to have a better record than all eight teams it had trailed in the wild card race prior to the streak. Their inconsistent play continued as they were swept by the Padres in late August as part of a four game losing streak, only to follow that up by winning seven consecutive, then losing their next three. The Dodgers finished the season strong by winning their final seven games, clinching a playoff birth in the final weekend over the Philadelphia Phillies and finishing tied with the Padres, making them able to claim co-champions of the Western Division despite being the wild card team in the playoffs.

Matchups
New York Mets vs. Los Angeles Dodgers New York Mets won series 3-0. The series seemed over for the Mets beore it even started, first by losing ace Pedro Martinez for the postseason and then losing probable Game 1 starter Orlando Hernandez. Despite having a potent offense, many people didn't seem to give the Mets too much of a chance without a great pitching staff. In fact, the Mets pitching helped keep the two bats at the top of the Dodger order from doing damage. Rafael Furcal and Kenny Lofton went 3 for 24 (.125) in the series combined. In the regular season, they hit .300 and stole 59 bases combined. Thanks to mixed efforts by everyone on the Mets, they advanced to the 2006 National League Championship Series. Dodgers second baseman Jeff Kent had eight hits in the three game series. Only Fernando Viña had more hits in a series that lasted three games.

The game started off with Mets rookie starter John Maine on the mound after the Mets received devastating news about Orlando Hernandez possibly missing the rest of the postseason. He kept the Mets in the game with only 1 earned run in 4.1 innings pitched. In the 2nd inning, a strange play occured at home plate. With runners on first and second with nobody out, catcher Russell Martin hit a line drive all the to the wall in right field. Jeff Kent tried to tag up from second base in the event that right fielder Shawn Green caught the ball. Instead, the ball sailed over his head. Both Kent and J. D. Drew raced around the bases towards the plate. Green threw to cut-off man Jose Valentin, who relayed to Paul Lo Duca at the plate. Lo Duca tagged out Kent. Drew, trying to score in desperation, was also tagged out at the plate. Lo Duca almost didn't see Drew in time to slap the tag on. The Dodgers would score a run later in the inning, but Carlos Delgado and Cliff Floyd hit home runs in the fourth. Nomar Garciaparra tied the game at 4 with a 2 RBI double in the top of the seventh. Delgado and David Wright, however, gave the Mets the lead for good in the bottom of the seventh with RBI hits off of Brad Penny (who was relieving Derek Lowe), with closer Billy Wagner nailing down the save.

In a game where the Mets were expected to struggle, they came through with a big win. Dodgers rookie Hong-Chih Kuo was expected to beat the Mets, who have a lineup full of left-handed hitters (or at least, hit better left-handed). Instead, the lefty Kuo was up against, Tom Glavine earned the win, with the Mets offense manufacturing runs. In the bottom of the 3rd, outfielder Endy Chavez hit a bunt single to lead off the inning. That led to a Jose Reyes RBI ground out. In the sixth, Paul Lo Duca hit a sacrifice fly to give the Mets a 2-0 lead. In the 7th, after pinch-hitter Julio Franco hit into a fielder's choice, driving in a run, Reyes drove in another run with an RBI single. Wilson Betemit hit a home run for the Dodgers but lost 4-1. The Dodgers were hit with more bad news. Nomar Garciaparra was lost after a leg injury that would keep him off the field except for pinch-hitting duties.

Coming home to Los Angeles, the Dodgers hoped that the fans would give them a boost and get a win. The Mets proved that wrong. The Mets jumped out on Dodgers veteran starter Greg Maddux for three runs in the first inning, and added another in the third. The Dodgers came back in the fourth inning with a bases loaded double by rookie first baseman James Loney off of Mets starter Steve Trachsel for two runs to make the score 4-2. Loney was starting in place of the injured Nomar Garciaparra. In the fifth, Jeff Kent hit a two-run home run off reliever Darren Oliver to tie the game at 4. The Dodgers would add another run in the inning. The Mets didn't slow up, however. In the sixth, Shawn Green started off with a leadoff double. After Jose Valentin popped out on the infield, pinch hitter Michael Tucker drew a walk. That lead to consecutive RBI singles from Jose Reyes, Paul Lo Duca, and Carlos Beltran, making the score 7-5. After that, the Mets never looked back. Green and Lo Duca finished with 2 RBI each and Pedro Feliciano earned the win.

In a pitching rematch of their Game 1 of last year’s NLDS, Chris Carpenter and Jake Peavy both started strong through three inning and it appeared that the pitcher’s duel that was expected last year would occur this time around. That changed in the fourth inning when Albert Pujols hit a two-run homerun 422 feet into one of the deepest parts of Petco Park. Peavy would give up an additional run in the fourth, as well as allowing a run in the fifth and sixth inning before being pulled in the sixth. Carpenter on the other hand continued his strong pitching performance as he pitched into the seventh inning, allowing just one run to cross the plate. The Cardinal bullpen, which had been shaky down the stretch, pitched the final two and two thirds of the game allowing just one hit. The Cardinals lead the best-of-five series one game to zero.

| | Quotes - "Payoff pitch again...there he goes...and there it goes! To deep left centerfield! Back, back, back, gone! Albert Pujols has done it again, a 2-run shot here in the 4th inning and the Cardinals have struck first 2-0." - Chris Berman
- "3-2 to Martinez...in the air down the right field line. Green, in the corner, he's got room...and the New York Mets, for the first time since 2000, will advance to the National League Championship Series, they have swept the Dodgers, 3 games to none." - Thom Brennaman on FOX Sports
- "Now it's 3 and 2, Loney running, Wagner deals: Swing and a fly ball, right field, towards the line -- Green over -- in foul ground, makes the catch! Put it in the books! The Mets are gonna play for the pennant! They have swept the Dodgers in the National League Division Series, winning three straight. They blew a four run lead early, the Dodgers came back to take a 5 to 4 lead, but the Mets stormed back, they win it 9 to 5 and now they are all jumping up and down right infront of second base!" - Howie Rose on WFAN
