1* free play on Arizona...
Arizona crushed the Phillies in Game 1 of this series, and the D'Backs have now won four of six. The Phillies have now lost eight of their last nine overall, and facing Arizona's ace today looks like a tough spot to break out of this slump. My money is on the D'Backs.

Here are my keys to game:

1. Pitching - Zack Greinke is on fire, coming into Philly off six straight wins. Greinke (9-3, 3.75 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on seven hits, fanning six in seven innings in a home win over the Dodgers in his last start. He owns the Phillies, going 5-0 with a 2.80 ERA in his last five starts against them.

2. Batter vs. Pitcher - Philadelphia's lineup is batting a woeful .183 in a combined 71 at bats in previous meetings with Greinke, and during that span they struck out 25 times mustering just 13 hits.

3. X-Factor - The Phillies are 6-20 in their last 26 overall, and 1-6 in their last seven games versus a right-handed starter.
