Who woulda thunk it? The two worst teams in the NL West Last year have come along way this year and now face each other in the NLCS and a chance to represent the NL in the World Series. If something I would have expect either the Dodgers or the Padres come this far but the Diamondbacks or Rockies? Really could anyone expect or predicted this in the beginning of the year. I mean if you look at Diamondbacks roster there are no names that jump out of you or you can easily recognize. Also their strongest hitter is injured. So how did they get this far and beat the Chicago Cubs in the NLDS? Easy. Timely Hitting and great pitching. Probably the two things you need in the October to be effective. On the other side that's not what Colorado has, right now the are probably riding one of the most storied high streaks in Baseball. In the last 16 games they are 15-1 and three(you can count 4) as post season games. A lineup that has hitters galore and looks more like a AL team than a NL team.
So what is the prediction? I think sooner or later the Rockies will finally get off this euphoria and finally coming crashing down to earth and the Diamonbacks with their pitching will see a return trip to the World Series since Gonzo in 2001.
Diamondbacks in six.
