Philadelphia Phillies

Cristopher Sanchez will take the mound for the Phillies on Sunday. Sanchez has had an outstanding year with a 3.44 ERA and an outstanding 3-5 record; his control allowed for just 16 home runs over 99 innings pitched while also recording an outstanding 1.05 WHIP. Sanchez has proven himself an effective presence on the mound.

Philadelphia’s Quest for Success: A Repeat Performance

The Phillies are ready to make a return trip to the World Series, starting with this series against the Diamondbacks. Although they experienced their first road loss of 2018, they remain formidable opponents with an outstanding 1.35 team ERA in postseason play and their dominating pitching staff playing an instrumental part in their quest for championship glory.

Philadelphia’s offense has been propelled forward by the power-hitting Kyle Schwarber, a star performer during this postseason. Schwarber hit 47 homers and amassed 104 RBIs – placing second among MLB players for homers while ranking 11th for RBIs. His ability to deliver in clutch moments makes him an essential piece of the Phillies offense.

Arizona Diamondbacks

On the Diamondbacks’ side, Joe Mantiply – 32 years old with a 4.62 ERA – will serve as their opener and look to improve upon a rough outing in Game Two. Although he experienced difficulties during that outing, Mantiply hopes he can provide his team with a strong start this time around.

Resilience of the Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks may have dropped the first two games of this World Series series, but that doesn’t mean they are giving up hope. Their determination and capacity for recovery were highlighted when in Game Three Ketel Marte singled home Pavin Smith from third base – showing just how determined and resilient this team really is.

On offense, the Diamondbacks boast weapons of their own; players like Ketel Marte and Pavin Smith have proven their game-changing capability against an impressive Phillies pitching staff. Yet despite this formidable challenge, Arizona possesses enough talent to ignite its offense and create opportunities on base paths.

An Encounter Between Pitching and Hitting

As this series progresses, it becomes a battle of pitchers and hitters as well. Cristopher Sanchez leads an effective Phillies pitching staff that’s designed to stop Joe Mantiply and the Diamondbacks’ offensive power from producing runs; on the other side are Joe Mantiply and his hitting counterparts looking to find ways to break open the code and put runs on the board.

Philadelphia is well known for its consistency during the regular season, ranking 6th in OPS and 8th in runs scored over 162 games. Arizona comes in closer at 17th OPS/14th runs scored.

Baseball’s dynamic nature means momentum can change dramatically from moment to moment, which adds an extra level of excitement and drama to each game. Each team possesses different strengths and weaknesses; therefore it’s impossible to know which side will emerge victorious during an NLCS series.
