00:00a rematch of the National League Championship Series from a year ago.

00:09That's the NLCS. It was the Phillies and the Diamondbacks. Arizona pulling off the upset

00:14to get to a World Series and win a pennant. It's a four-game extended weekend set now.

00:19The Phillies took the final two games against the Dodgers to enter this series with some momentum.

00:24The Diamondbacks are 14-4 since the All-Star break. 12 wins in their last 14 games.

00:30Minus 1-10 Arizona. An ever so slight home favorite. Minus 1-06 on the other side for

00:37Philadelphia. A flip-flop of the line on the screen. Nine and a half the total tonight in the desert.

00:43Yeah, but and also you try to take a look at how this measures up because the Phillies played last

00:47night on the west coast. Beats the Dodgers late but staying on the west coast with that flight.

00:50You take a look at a double header played yesterday for the Arizona Diamondbacks who

00:54made a little bit of a tax there in the bullpen and or their pitching staff and quite frankly just

00:57being tired playing a double header. Ben getting on a plane and flying back. So if we are lining

01:02this game up, I do think we get over the total to be honest. Drew to Montgomery. Decent pitcher

01:06here. Struggling over the past 30 days and quite frankly on the season against right-handed batters.

01:10Take a look at Trey Turner. Take a look at Alec Baum. Nick Castellanos. But the Phillies lineup

01:14is starting to wake up. We already know that Arizona Diamondbacks team is lined up as well

01:19because if you're saying, well who are they facing? Is it going to be Zach Wheeler? Aaron Nolet? No,

01:23it's not. It's Colby Allard on this match tonight. Left-handed pitchers struggling

01:26with right-handed bats. We should get runs out there in the desert. I don't care if they're

01:30tired for Arizona. Those bats are still going to come to play tonight. I think we get the total

01:34and knock it down.
