Arizona Diamondbacks vs Los Angeles Dodgers Prediction: Expect the visitors to take their chance here

In game three of the National League Division Series playoffs, which takes place on Thursday at Chase Field, the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks face off against each other. Let's take a look at the matchup ahead of us and make a forecast.

If the Arizona Diamondbacks come out on top in this game, they will punch their ticket to the National League Championship Series for the first time since 2007. The Arizona Diamondbacks have started the postseason with a perfect 4-0 record, and their pitching staff has held opponents to three runs or fewer in each of those games. After 36 innings of play in the postseason, the Arizona Diamondbacks have a team earned run average of 2.25, a team WHIP of 1.28, and 35 strikeouts. When the Arizona Diamondbacks have allowed three runs or fewer in their previous game, they have won eight of their previous eleven games. Corbin Carroll, who has seven hits and four runs batted in, is the Arizona Diamondbacks' leading offensive player, while Tommy Pham and Ketel Marte have combined for 12 hits and four runs batted in. The next pitcher is Brandon Pfaadt, who had a record of 3-9 with a 5.72 earned run average and 94 strikeouts this season. Pfaadt's career playoff record is 0 for 0 with a 10.13 earned run average and 4 strikeouts.

In order to force game 5 to be played on Thursday, the Los Angeles Dodgers need to win this game. The Los Angeles Dodgers have only managed to produce 10 hits and 4 runs through the first two games of the season, demonstrating that their offense simply cannot get going. We have seen what the Los Angeles Dodgers are capable of accomplishing when they are playing to the best of their abilities, but right now it seems as though they are a little shaken up. The good news for fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers is that their team has only suffered a losing streak of three games in a row once since July 14. Will Smith has a team-high two hits and is leading the Los Angeles Dodgers in runs batted in with two, while Miguel Rojas and J.D. Martinez combined for four hits and one run. This game will be started by Lance Lynn, who finished the season with a record of 13-11, a 5.73 earned run average, and 191 strikeouts. In his career, Lynn has a playoff record of 5-5 with a 5.28 earned run average and 56 strikeouts.

The combination of betting twice on the Arizona Diamondbacks in this series and winning money is working out very well for me. Despite this, I think the Los Angeles Dodgers will prevail in this game. First, the Los Angeles Dodgers have much too much talent and experience to end their season on such a down note. Also, regardless of how you feel about Lance Lynn and his poor ERA, the fact remains that he does miss bats at a rate that is over average, and he is a veteran pitcher who has been in 27 postseason games. We don't know much about Brandon Pfaadt, who is a rookie pitcher who is 24 years old. During the wild card series against the Milwaukee Brewers, he struggled mightily and only lasted 2.2 innings. In 42 at-bats against Pfaadt, the Los Angeles Dodgers have a batting average of.381 and have hit three home runs. My money's on the Los Angeles Dodgers to make a comeback and win this series.
