It’s not a surprise that the Diamondbacks are major underdogs in this series. They got swept by Houston entering the playoffs, fell to the six seed, and were projected to lose to the Brewers easily. However, they did something no one has ever done before. Come back and win both NLWC games on the road. They shocked the Brewers and now advance to face the 100-win Dodgers, with more playoff experience than every player on the D’backs combined.

MLB polled fans to get their predictions for the Divisional rounds. It did not go well for the D’backs. 67% of fans agreed that the Dodgers would advance. The second biggest margin of the four series.

The only other series ahead of them was the Orioles over the Rangers, in which 71% of fans believed the Orioles would win.
The Diamondbacks will be starting Merrill Kelly game one in LA, and if they want any shot of winning, they have to steal one on the road. Their first game will be at 6:20 p.m. PT on Saturday.
