NLCS Game 7 Preview: Philadelphia Phillies vs Arizona Diamondbacks
The NLCS Game 7 will see a repeat of the Game 3 matchup between the two team's starters, Brandon Pfaadt for the D-backs and Ranger Suarez for the Phillies. Both pitchers looked strong but couldn't get past five innings so a lot of bullpen activity is expected in the game.
The tactical decisions between both managerial staffs will be one to watch out for. The Diamondbacks are expected to start the game aggressively at the bases while the Phillies would look back toward star players like Bryce Harper and Kyle Scwarber to deliver. A must-watch encounter awaits to determine the NL's pennant holders.
