Game Preview
The 2023 season saw an intense National League Division Series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers, setting the stage for their upcoming confrontation.
This Friday night in Phoenix, the Diamondbacks welcome the Dodgers to kick off a four-game series over the Labor Day weekend. Arizona’s right-hander Zac Gallen (10-6, 3.65 ERA) is set to pitch against Dodgers’ southpaw Clayton Kershaw (2-2, 3.72 ERA).
Arizona recently fell to the New York Mets 3-2, concluding a three-game series, while the Dodgers clinched their series against the Baltimore Orioles with a 6-3 victory. Despite the Diamondbacks’ inability to overtake the Dodgers in the NL West this weekend, they remain ahead in the wild-card race, slightly leading the San Diego Padres who just lost to the St. Louis Cardinals.
Last year, the Diamondbacks, as underdogs, swept the Dodgers in the NLDS, a team that finished the regular season 16 games ahead in the division. Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo emphasized the team’s readiness for the Dodgers, stating, "This team is eager and ready to compete, especially knowing we are facing a quality team like the Dodgers."
The Dodgers are coming off a successful stint at home, winning eight of their last ten games, even as they missed Freddie Freeman due to a minor injury. Their successful performance against other playoff-contending teams has boosted their confidence, according to Dodgers manager Dave Roberts, who described the homestand as productive.
In his last outing, Gallen pitched six scoreless innings to secure a win against the Boston Red Sox, despite a challenging history in regular-season play against the Dodgers. However, he did claim a victory against them in last year’s playoffs.
Kershaw, on the other hand, is looking to rebound after a rough start against the Rays where he allowed five runs over five innings. Historically, Kershaw has been successful against the Diamondbacks during the regular season but has struggled in postseason matchups, including a loss in last year’s NLDS where he was pulled early after giving up six runs.
