The Los Angeles Dodgers (100-62, 92-69 RL, 90-65-7 O/U) and the Arizona Diamondbacks (84-78, 85-76 RL, 69-84-8 O/U) battle in game three of the NLDS on Wednesday evening. The Dodgers will have Lance Lynn on the mound. The Diamondbacks will reply with Brandon Pfaadt. The Diamondbacks posted an 11-2 win in game one and a 4-2 win on Monday night.
The Dodgers are expected to have Lance Lynn start game three. Lynn was decent since arriving in a deal with the White Sox at the end of July. He struggled in Chicago, posting a 6.47 ERA, and was better with the Dodgers, issuing a 4.36 ERA. He finished the regular season with a 5.73 ERA and a 1.39 WHIP accompanied by a 13-11 record in 183.2 innings on the year. Lynn did not pitch against the Diamondbacks this season and has excelled against them in his career, sporting a 2.96 ERA and a 6-1 record in 73 innings.
Los Angeles is going to need some road magic if they want to come back to Dodger Stadium for a game five. The squad was almost just as dangerous on the road this season where they went 47-34. They went 3-3 in Arizona. The Dodgers are going to need more offense considering Lance Lynn is on the mound. Th e bats have been kept in check, managing only four runs on 10 hits in the series.

The Dodgers are posting an average of 5.59 runs per game, good for second. The pitching wasn't as dominant as usual, recording a 4.06 team ERA, placing them 13th.
