Introduction
Game 1 of the NLCS is finally here. It is the Phillies vs. Diamondbacks at Citizens Bank Park. The fans are roaring, yelling, and chanting loudly and excitedly so. It is their team and Citizens Bank Park altogether that has a chance to win the first game tonight that booms with nothing more than profuse excitement. The classic time for postseason baseball. It feels like the allotted energy and presence that fans of Arizona and Philadelphia provide can be nuanced across the world.
Who Is Pitching Game 1 Of The NLCS?
Zack Wheeler is on the mound for the Phillies. During the postseason, Wheeler is 1-0 with a 2.08 ERA. During the regular season, Wheeler was 13-6 with a 3.61 ERA. Zac Gallen is on the mound for the Arizona Diamondbacks meanwhile. During the postseason Gallen is 2-0 with a 3.18 ERA and finished the regular season extragallonly strong. Assessing these numbers, it will be a anticipatory pitching matchup.
Lineups
My Prediction
The Phillies will win game 1. The Diamondbacks will little because they have to see what it is to be undeniably in the postseason. They defeated the Dodgers, but the Diamondbacks still do not know the ambiance of Citizens Bank Park. Plus, the Diamondbacks entered the postseason out of surprisingly slithering. They were not expected to enter. The Phillies, meanwhile, have the advantage and will overcome the Diamondbacks, 10-1.
Key Players To Keep An Eye On During This Game
The first key player to marvel is Corbin Carroll. How come? He has been superb lately and he lands on base. He simply cannot be stopped when he steals.
Also, he has a batting average of .412. He is a fast, agile player and will run so JT Realmuto will have to stop when necessary.
Another player is Bryce Harper. Why? Last time Bryce Harper played he collided with Matt Olson and looked he seriously injured his elbow. This is the same elbow he underwent Tommy John Surgery on. He expressed after the game how his collision did not stop him from celebrating inside the clubhouse amongst his teammates and media.
A third key player to strongly observe is Nick Castellanos. Why? He has also been on fire, at least in the postseason. During the regular season, Castellanos accrued a 1.6 WAR, similar to Reds Will Benson with a 750K yearly salary. Uncalled for but an abundance of home runs and his teammates, fans, and Liam are leaving their seats. I LOVE Liam’s reactions when Nick hits a homerun! He is such a big supporter!
