Dan Holmes writes: "We were spot on for Game 3, predicting a close, come-from-behind win for Arizona. There’s a lot of moxie in these Diamondbacks, and we like them to snatch another game at home to even the NLCS. Go with Arizona To Win and the Under 9.5 Runs."

The Picks: Go with the Phillies to win Game 4 vs. Diamondbacks
Shane Lambert writes: :"The Phillies at -135 look like a bargain for a moneyline bet (bet365). Sanchez is a credible starting pitcher, even for a game of this magnitude. He can be relied on to last six innings and to preserve the bullpen for key matchups in the batting order late in the game. My recommendation is to take Philadelphia to win this one at -135 (bet365), a game where they threaten to take full control of the NLCS."

RB Hayek writes: "Trusting the Diamondbacks to toss two efficient games in a row is difficult. Also, the hitters still have continued to struggle. The Phillies awaken their offense and take a 3-1 lead."

The Game Day: Phillies 7, Diamondbacks 4
Matt Williams writes: "The Phillies have a significant edge on the pitchers’ mound for Game 4, with Arizona opting to go with a bullpen game. Sánchez carries a decent strikeout rate (24.2%) that he pairs with a fantastic ground ball rate (57.7%), which is a tremendous combination for success. However, it is unlikely the 26-year-old pitches very deep into the game."
