Starting Monday night, after a weekend in Colorado scoring runs like a football team, the Arizona Diamondbacks get set to take on the Los Angeles Dodgers in a 3 game series.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Perfect Timing:
The D-Backs coming off of a series in Colorado should have our confidence boosted a little bit, at least on the offensive side.
Mix that in with this young Diamondbacks team being so young, they can not even comprehend being scared of the mighty Dodgers. Who have been “big brother” to everyone in the division for the last decade.
Los Angeles also did some celebrating over the weekend clinching a playoff spot for the 10th year in a row. This is the perfect time for Arizona to lure the Dodgers into the desert, and strike.

Diamondbacks-Dodgers
Even though this series will not mean much for the season, playoff or standings wise. It would mean a lot to the city of Phoenix to make this series a close one.
The Dodgers are the standard of excellence, one of those teams that packs Chase Field every time they come. Phoenix is full of Dodgers fans, as well as D-Backs fan who would love nothing more than to say “We got ya this time”.
