The Dodgers and D-backs have now gone OVER in 7 of their last 9 games against each other.

The Dodgers send a red-hot Yu Darvish to the bump for his first postseason start of the season in this one. The righty was tearing it up over his most recent starts, allowing just one earned run with 21 strikeouts in his last 19.1 innings of work. Darvish allowed two runs with 10 Ks in his lone start against the D-backs since the Dodgers acquired him via trade.
Zack Greinke struggled in his wild-card game start against Colorado with the D-backs ace allowing four runs in just 3.2 innings. However, Greinke thrived in his past two starts against the Dodgers, surrendering just two runs in his last 13 innings against LA.
