Another day, another Wild Card! This one takes out to Phoenix where two National League West teams face each other for the chance to play another NL West team. Crazy, right? I would prefer wild though. This is a pretty even match up, despite the Rockies dropping their last few games and risking making the postseason. Both teams play well head-to-head so this could be a close game. For the Diamondbacks, Zack Greinke needs to be great in this and not give up too many solo shots. JD Martinez needs to be himself, along with Paul Goldschmidt. They have veterans who have been here before and that will help. For the Rockies, Nolan Arenado is one of the best third basemen in the game so he has the ability to stop plays from happening. Charlie Blackmon is the best lead-off hitter and if he starts out strong, then that will give them a good feeling. It's been some years for this team as well but they can do well in a familiar place. Big congratulations to the Yankees on punching their ticket to Cleveland for a tough series. It was a long game but it gave the fans action on all forms and it was a well-fought game. Here's to more of those!
