DBacks Turn to Greinke to Stave off Elimination from Dodgers
The Los Angeles Dodgers and the Arizona Diamondbacks will battle in Game 3 of their NLDS Series on Monday at Chase Field.First pitch is scheduled for 10:08. TBS will televise the game nationally. Oddsmakers opened the Dodgers as -120-moneyline favorites versus the Diamondbacks, while the game’s total opened at 9. The line now has the Diamondbacks as -113-moneyline favorites. The total is holding at 9. Starting this game for the Diamondbacks will be Zack Greinke. The right hander has a 3.32 ERA to go along with a 17-7 record this season. The Diamondbacks’ starting pitching has not given them much of a chance so far. That is something Greinke has to do to keep Arizona alive in its first playoff appearance since 2011. Arizona has not won a playoff series since the 2007 NLDS against the Chicago Cubs. Greinke’s short outing in the NL wild-card game against Colorado has had a ripple effect in this series. Greinke could not get out of the fourth inning so fellow start Robbie Ray was forced into action in long relief. Greinke was 13-1 at home in the regular season. He has given up 15 hits and 12 runs in his 7 2/3 innings in his last two starts at Chase Field. Greinke could not hold a 6-0 lead in the wild-card game. He gave up five hits and four runs in the fourth inning before being removed.Dodgers Look to Advance to NLCS
Right hander Yu Darvish will take the mound for the Dodgers to start this game. Darvish is 10-12 this season with a 3.81 ERA. Darvish joined the Dodgers near the trade deadline. He was 4-3 with a 3.44 ERA in nine starts with them. He struck out 10 in five innings of a 5-2 victory over Arizona at Chase Field on Aug. 10. He lost both career postseason starts while with the Texas Rangers. Darvish gave up five runs on four homers in five innings of a 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays in the second game of the ALDS last year. The Dodgers’ 6-8 hitters, Logan Forsythe, Austin Barnes and Yasiel Puig were 8-for-12 with five RBIs in Game 2. Puig has a team-high five hits, including a triple in Game 1. Third baseman Justin Turner had three hits, including a homer. He matched a franchise playoff record five RBIs in a 9-5 Game 1 victory. That helped the Dodgers show the power that led them to a franchise home run record this season. The Dodgers led the NL in team ERA, and Arizona was third.Recent Form
