series.At Chase Field on Friday night, Game 4 of the 2023 National League

currently hold a 2-1 series lead, Ketel Marte's walk-off single on Thursday
gave the Arizona Diamondbacks a victory. 70% of the time in best-of-seven
series history, teams holding a 2-1 lead have gone on to win the match.
This postseason's
Game 3 was the first contest to end with a tie in the sixth or later inning
(this applies to every club and every series). Marte and Arizona's rookie right
Brandon Pfaadt, who was outstanding, helped the team win a close contest. ways

Preview
The most chaotic
NLCS game could well be Game 4. Both the D-backs and the Phillies are poised to
play a pure bullpen game; it would be surprising if any Phillies batters saw
the same pitcher more than once. Although Sánchez performed effectively down
the stretch of the regular season and had a strong regular season overall, he
has not pitched since September 30.
No one knows how
far he can get in Game 4. Even though there isn't always a lot of offense in
games between opposing bullpens, there is always a lot of pitching switching
and talking about strategies.
Prediction
Every series should
continue because at CBS Sports, baseball is the only sport we root for. The
D-backs will out-bullpen the Phillies in Game 4 and even the series at two
games each. Choose: Diamondbacks 5, Phillies 3.
