Phillies vs. Diamondbacks NLCS Game 4 Predictions, Odds and Picks - October 20 | MLB 2023 Postseason

The Arizona Diamondbacks took down the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the NLCS in dramatic fashion. Tied in the bottom of the ninth innings, Ketel Marte hit a walk-off single that scored Pavin Smith. Arizona now has a win on the board, making the series 2-1 in favor of Philadelphia.

Phillies vs. Diamondbacks Predictions

The two starting pitchers have already been announced. Cristopher Sanchez will take the ball for the Phillies, while the Diamondbacks will hand the ball to Joe Mantiply. Sanchez has struggled at times during the regular season, compiling a 3-5 record across 18 starts. The same could be said for Matiply, as he holds a 2-2 record across three starts. Mantiply will likely be used as an opener for Arizona. Given their quiet bats on Thursday, expect Phillies batters to get to Mantiply early. Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and Nick Castellanos all went hitless in Thursday's matchup. It is highly unlikely the same will be said for Friday's game. Watch out for the Phillies to score early and often and take home Game 4.
